My thinking I'd be wasting my time was before I clicked the link, when I got there and saw it was Michael's podcast, my interest peaked from knowing him here on BP.I think Michael is great at marketing, I can tell those who have had "training" in sales presentations, nodding the head, hand gestures that "connect" you with positive body language and asking "yes" questions is trained and not natural for most people.Companies like Met Life and Prudential Insurance, probably have the best one on one training and marketing on the planet, selling financial products is the hardest thing to sell to the average Joe.

hello everyone! I need to get started.  I'm very excited. I'm reading on this topic/BP everyday n every chance I get. I have so much to learn and so much networking to do. I welcome all advice.
