ONE LAST NOTE

What does Joe know about persistence to make your business a success?

Doctors told Joe as a child that he would be wheel-chair bound for the rest of his life. At best, he’d have to use a cane. Then at the age of 16, those same doctors that decided to put pins in his right hip to fuse the bones together, left a pin that broke off in his hip. Undaunted with no other thought than to spite his doctors, Joe worked on his legs daily to be sure he’d not live the rest of his life disabled using a cane or not being able to walk again.

“NO” is not in Joe’s vocabulary.

He’ll remove it from yours too, so that you can achieve ultimate success in sales!
