Tom Hopkins Interview - Selling Power Magazine
Joe Girard had to sell to put food on the table. He had lost everything. But when he started to climb his way back, he got knocked down again. Kicked in the teeth. Hard.
He was fired.
Joe Girard, a man for the record books, sold 13,001 Chevrolets in 15 years
It's like climbing a mountain on a sheer rock face. You are beginning to make progress through superhuman effort -- and suddenly another climber pulls out your pitons, sending you falling thousands of feet until the one rope keeping alive is fully stretched, and you are dangling just above the ground.
A weird thing happens -- after the initial shock of the fall, an eerie calm takes over your body and mind. You realize there is no doubt you will climb the mountain.
Because now you will make it your life's mission to make it happen -- to prove it to them.
And one day, you will be waving from the top.
Or hanging dead on the side.
Because you are not coming back...
...without one or the other.
