>> I would really encourage them to get some real life experience, with sales.
Because there's only so much you can learn in the classroom.
I mean I loved Ole Miss, and Ole Miss and my wife
and I met here, and there's no place like it.
But for sales, you really can't experience what it's like, unless you're out there, you know,
the experience of knocking on doors, making a lot of mistakes,
learning to control your emotions and, and things like.
So an internship, you know one of our sister companies, our founder Spencer Hayes,
also owns Southwestern, which is a company similar to what I worked for
and what we sold education books and bibles door to door and there's a lot
of college students out there that do that.
And a lot of our partners have had sales internships
with Cutco Knives and things like that.
So that's a really, really good you know start.
And also if there's some classes they can take on you know professional selling .
We would do presentations and things like that.
I would encourage that.
And the last thing is, you know, reading some books.
I mean I think that they, that the one thing that I, that I've really learned, I,
I teach some sales classes here a few times a year, and, and, and, and helping out is just
to really start working on your goals.
I mean, and sales or anything else, I think the, the only difference
between the top person would be today versus five years from now,
are going to be the people we surround ourselves with, the type of books we read,
and so Goals by Brian Tracy, and Dale Carnegie, How to Win Friends and Influence People,
are the two that I'd recommend anybody to read.
