Superfast Success with James Schramko Ep25

James_Schramko

 

James Schramko from Super Fast Business left a $300,000 a year job working for Mercedes to do affiliate marketing but only after he matched his salary.  His success in affiliate marketing was based on how he had attained success in sales at Mercedes Benz. 

Selling is essential for any successful business and like it or not you have to learn the art of selling to have any real level of success. Often people say "I don't like sales" or it's too hard to sell things. James approached it from a different angle.  

He decided to be helpful instead of just going for the biggest profit.  He educated his customers and did what was in the best interest of the customers first which is what sets him apart from your average "Sales Person".
