 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/profile-bio-and-interests/profile-bio-and-interests-craigkingofcopycom</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
I live outside Tampa, Florida with my wife and our 3 children.  Born
and raised in The Bronx until I was 26, been here in Florida since 1989
(I&#039;m almost 45.)
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I am a copywriter and a publisher.  For almost 3 years now I&#039;ve been
publishing a monthy offline newsletter called Seductive Selling.  It&#039;s
now read in 12 countries and growing rapidly.  I have 2 books coming
out soon.  One, a &amp;quot;real&amp;quot; book has been edited and I need to review it,
and the other is an e-book which I should be finished with in the next
two weeks.

 <title>Are You Leaving Business on the Table?</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/adrian-miller/blatant-truth-sales-success-methods/are-you-leaving-business-table</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Undoubtedly, you work your tail off everyday to be the most professional, productive, and successful salesperson that you can be. But, is it possible that you are leaving business on the table? The answer is probably yes! If you are not consistently presenting all of your offerings to your customers, or you are not probing them on a regular basis about their needs and potential opportunities, you are simply handing business to your competitors.

 <title>The Matrix: Lessons in sales</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/koka-sexton/koka-sexton/matrix-lessons-sales</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
If you have not had the opportunity to see &lt;a href=&quot;http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0133093/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;The Matrix lessons in sales&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The Matrix&lt;/a&gt;,

another sci-fi flick, The Matrix has a deeper meaning that can be
directly applied to sales. I had a Matrix moment at work today.
&lt;/p&gt;
