Phil Fisher shaped my philosophy of selling very early in my career. He died last week at the age of 98. I share yet another Phil Fisher story in this week’s knowledge bite. And there are links below to two other stories about Phil and his philosophies of selling. I had the great privilege of appearing in Phil’s Wisconsin Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame Induction video. Have a look at that too. It’s well worth your time. If Phil’s ideas help you as much as they helped me, you’ll be glad you took the time to discover them.

The more product knowledge you have, the more inclined you will be to share it. But telling isn’t selling. Avoid the temptation to spew. Ask this question instead. What question? The one you’ll learn in this week’s knowledge bite at the 1:04 marker. Send the MP3 to your sales team and encourage them to ask this question to a prospect this week. And ask them to bring that story to the sales meeting. Education without action is entertainment.
