Sales?&#8230;Pushy?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>I have been rewriting our first book and reviewing some of the critiques of the first edition. There are some critics and reviewers of the first edition of The Job Search Solution who claim what I advised was just too aggressive for them\u2026 I was just a salesman advising sales techniques and scripts. They are absolutely right! Getting a job in today\u2019s market\u2026 or in any market.. requires selling yourself better than any other candidate. What I teach is aggressive. It is sales. It is only pushy, however, if you don\u2019t use the scripts in the right way. If you don\u2019t practice what I teach and communicate humility and sincerity in your presentations and during the process, it will come across as pushy and it won\u2019t get you to first base. It takes practice. If you sell yourself with the attitude you are more interested in what you get than what you can do for someone else, it will come across as pushy. If you use what I teach in an obnoxious, egotistical manner, none of it will work. If you present yourself in an \u201cI\u2019m interested in helping you get what you want and in the process, get what I want,\u201d you\u2019ll be in great shape. It\u2019s all a matter of attitude.<\/p>\n<p>We shouldn\u2019t confuse pride with arrogance. Presenting yourself with confidence is different than being obnoxious. Some critics claim the techniques I teach are too aggressive for them, that they know a better way. That is wonderful! If what I teach is too aggressive for you\u2026 don\u2019t use it, or modify it to your personal style. If you\u2019ve been successful in finding a job different way, God bless you. The system I teach is not the only way to find a job. I\u2019m simply presenting a system and process that has helped thousands of people find a job. The techniques are proven and, if done the right way, really work. They get positive results.<\/p>\n<p>No one is going to hang up on you or be insulted by your using these techniques, as some critics claim, if you communicate sincerity, humility, honesty and a genuine interest in helping them get what they want. If you can, as the critic who wrote that he didn\u2019t like what I suggested, \u201cwrite a brief and informational letter to potential employers, followed up with ONE polite phone call, and landed 2 jobs with in 6 weeks,\u201d then you don\u2019t need this book. Give it to someone who may not be as fortunate. I am ecstatic for you.<\/p>\n<p>One critic wrote, \u201c\u2026his tactics are sometimes pretty hard sell. I can\u2019t bring myself to do things like this. But then again, I\u2019ve been out of work for more than a year so you should probably ignore everything I\u2019ve said and follow his instructions.\u201d \u201cHard sell\u201d is not what you say or do as much as it is how you say or do it. If these tactics were done in a hard-sell way, I would\u2019ve been run out of my profession years ago.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to agree with my approach. It won\u2019t work well for you if you don\u2019t believe in it. It has worked for thousands of people. Some have actually had to overcome being reluctant to be as forceful as they needed to be to find a job in this market. It comes down to how badly they needed a job. The question is, \u201care you more uncomfortable with being out of work or needing to change jobs or more uncomfortable with doing the things I recommend?\u201d I\u2019m reminded of what Frederick Nietzsche wrote, \u201che who has a reason why, can bear with almost any how.\u201d If that isn\u2019t motivating enough, the how won\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n<p>Guarantee: If you buy this book and it doesn\u2019t help you, send it to me, with your name and address and I\u2019ll either send you your money back or give the price of the book to charity in your name. Just choose one of the options.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been rewriting our first book and reviewing some [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Aggressive?....
