内容简介
Nationally recognized executive recruiter and sales trainer Kathy Aaronson has thrived in sales through three deep rolling recessionsand the aftermath of 9/11. She has built a loyal following nationwide by sharing the secrets of finding career satisfaction and security despite changes in the economy, business practices, or workforce demands. In The Golden Apple, Aaronson takes readers back to the roadside vegetable stand where, driven by "kid courage,"she first learned how to see value that others had ignored and how to communicate and provide that value to create customer satisfaction.
As an eight-year-old selling the oddly shaped, unevenly colored rejects from her family's farm—and drawing customers away from the produce aisles at the grocery store—Aaronson began to understand key principles of establishing positive connections with others and providing value in a way that others can appreciate. She built on those principles as one of the first women to succeed in national advertising sales for Cosmopolitan, Working Woman, and W magazines before turning her focus full time to The Sales Athlete, Inc. As a salestrainer and recruiter, she has been retained by more than a thousand companies, including the Tribune Company, Time Warner, and Emmis Communications.
