Were these people born this way? Absolutely not! They learned their skills from doing, asking, and observing. And now, thanks to The Street Smart Sales Pro, these valuable lessons are available to those looking to supercharge their ability to sell.

Motivational stories of actual salesmen and saleswomen who went for the gold and achieved it provide further inspiration throughout this book. Although designed for men and women who sell products and services, this book can also benefit those who have to sell themselves in other situations. No matter how difficult the challenge ahead or how many doors have been closed to you in the past, knowing how to be a true street smart salesperson will allow you to see the world differently—a world that is filled with opportunities. All you need is someone to show you how, and you will not find a better teacher than The Street Smart Sales Pro.

A young woman and her confidante Daisy Buchanan sink into the languor of the Hamptons and Provincetown. A buxom redhead from Alabam-don't-give-a-damn travels to Hollywood, in search of fame and fortune.

Download or read book The Frumkiss Family Business written by Michael Wex and published by Knopf Canada. This book was released on 2010-08-24 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Mann meets Mordecai Richler in this outstanding novel of great intellect and humour that already reads like a classic. The Frumkiss family doesn't look much different from any of the others in Toronto's Bathurst Manor. Grandpa survived the Holocaust; Grandma the Second came from Poland at the age of five. Dad's a foot doctor; Mom is dead, and her mother — Grandma Number One —died while giving birth to her in Kazakhstan. Her three kids — the oldest is forty-two — are as frustrated and directionless as most baby boomers with no real financial worries. One's in Toronto, there's one in the suburbs and the third lives in Israel. As far as the Frumkisses know, all that distinguishes them from anybody else is that Grandpa is a famous Yiddish writer who ended up working for the CBC. But Grandpa's death sets off a chain of events that force the Frumkisses to see how different their family is from all the others. The Frumkiss Family Business, Michael Wex's brilliant and hilarious new novel, is a family saga for the twenty-first century, a lovingly accurate portrait of middle-class Canadian life at the turn of the century and of the Toronto neighbourhood that has produced such famous Canadians as Howie Mandel and Wex himself. Imagine Thomas Mann's Buddenbrooks without the stodgy Germans or The Brothers Karamazov with only one brother. Finally, a novel that does for Toronto what Mordecai Richler's books did for Montreal.

Download or read book Understanding and Researching Professional Practice written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-02-11 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding and researching professional practice is crucial both to enhancing the quality of professional learning and to improving professional education more generally. Yet professional practice remains something that is little known, theoretically and philosophically, despite a longstanding interest in what might be called the meta-field of professional practice, learning and education. The contributors to this book, drawn from fields such as education, allied health, psychology and business, explore different aspects of practice in the professions, professionalism, and research. This includes engaging with the burgeoning literature on practice theory and philosophy, including the increasingly influential neo-Aristotelian tradition, and taking account of growing interest in practice thinking across contemporary scholarship. It considers issues such as the primacy of practice, the nature of professional judgement, the role of ‘experience’, ethics, context, and the practitioner standpoint. As such, it raises important and timely questions about practice ontologies, epistemologies and methodologies, and also praxis and politics. This is especially needed in a context otherwise increasingly organised by neoliberalism, economic rationality, anxious managerialism, and what some see as a general drive towards de-professionalisation and new nuances and intensities of regulation.
