Monday AM Sales Video: Selling Advice from Shark Tank’s Daymond John

On the way to San Francisco this morning, I listened to the James Altucher show interview with Daymond John. If you don’t know Daymond, he recently wrote “The Power of Broke: How Empty Pockets, a Tight Budget, and a Hunger for Success Can Become Your Greatest Competitive Advantage.”‘
