About Brian

The Sales Guy Guiding Principles:
Learn Every Day
We should strive to learn something new each day. This creates a curiosity in us that drives us to learn more about our customers, markets, and industries. The old saying is “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks”, but I believe that old dog will be a less successful dog if learning is not a part of their life.
Engage & Connect
Spend time each day connecting and engaging with those around you. Customers, prospects, co-workers, neighbors, somebody…anybody. Get out of your comfort zone – seek opportunities to connect with people and engage them.
Carpe’ Diem
Latin for “Seize the Day”. Get a firm grip on every day and use the time wisely. Make the most of your time working…make the most of your personal time. Life is not a dress rehearsal, make the most of it
