TSL S1E19 - "The World Needs Salespeople" - Alex Homer, Tom James Company (3/3)

Alex Homer, Senior Sales Leader at the Tom James Company, concludes his discussion with Dr. Willy Bolander in The Sales Lab by telling his early career story and comparing the 2008 economic recession with the 2020 pandemic. He also describes the moment in his career that he realized no one was coming to save him – if he was to be a success, it was going to have to be through his own disciplined effort. Willy gets Alex to share a horror story that sounds right out of Curb Your Enthusiasm, a story of victory against all odds, and some excellent book recommendations. Finally, the episode concludes with Alex explaining why, now more than ever, the world needs salespeople. Part 3 of 3.
