Wes Schaeffer – The Sales Whisperer – SIV #069 Shownotes
The A,B,C,D,Es of Selling
I first met Wes Schaeffer at a convention in Phoenix back in 2014. He was just starting to get some real traction in his business and he has exploded from there. His “The Sales Podcast” is one of my must listen to podcasts and he has taught me a ton!
You are going to enjoy our time with Wes and I hope you come away a better salesperson.

NEXT WEEK
Eric Silverman returns to the Success Is Voluntary Podcast and he pulls NO punches. In fact, I'm guessing he is going to make all of us a little mad and that's o.k. We can't grow unless someone challenges/pushes us. Eric has always done that for me.
Until then, I wish you great SUCCESS! I’ve heard it’s VOLUNTARY…
