Just finished reading, GOD is a Salesman

The book was well written, and the author Mark Stevens makes valid points throughout. I read the book because of the title and the fact I had lunch with Mark in a group setting.

If you didn't know, please note, GOD is not a salesman. GOD created an idea and his followers deliver the idea.

There were a few take aways which I will summarize; Communicate to the Masses-- don't call one prospect at a time, Always Control the Agenda, Know that most people buy on Heart, Faith, Trust, and Respect. Don't become a seller of stuff-- Hold out an idea, paint a picture, and make a promise, and always view selling as a way of building and maintaining faith in one another.
