Which historical figure would make a great sales savage?

Rules are simple, they can't be salespeople themselves otherwise have at it.


My suggestion - The trust buster himself - Teddy Roosevelt


He's using his soft speech and big stick to beat through those gatekeepers and get the win.


They might not be willing to renew, but that's CS' problem.



It's Thursday I'm doing CRM cleaning and bored outta my skull. Inspiration taken from @paddy that a little brevity is good now and then.

Strong selections both, Alexander would be the solo rep that hits 300% target and the company fails to plug the gap when he jumps ship. 

My B on the similar vein, searched for greatest sales  as one word etc and didn't spot.

Lincolns use of stories, ability to relate, colloquialness, would make him a killer rep.  Read Team of Rivals if you have any doubt.  He'd be the soft spoken rep at Presidents Club pun intended

Soft skills pay the bills - though he might have that one crazy rep try and snipe his deal.

Ah yes the supreme art of closing is to close without closing.

If we're talking numbers and quota.  He'd win hands down.  There are more suckers than intelligent decision makers :/

Trust in the art of the deal and let the sales engineer and CS rep deal with the reality.

Basically any politician like Lincoln, Washington, etc. They sold the country on them being leader.
