I often have a bunch of links that I send to friends and family over the week, so I thought I’d copy @brisboune who sensibly does the something similar and start posting them up.

- The Danger of Crocodile Sales (Spot listening vs Talking) http://www.bothsidesofthetable.com/2010/02/03/the-danger-of-crocodile-sales/
I particularly like the last and first here. The last point is important, sales is about asking the right questions and building a rapport i.e. them talking not you. The first is Gary Vee who’s rubbing our faces in reality, we can be really great at a small number of things or average at everything.
