About the Author:
Patti is the author of "The Accidental Farmer: Adventures of a Serial Entrepreneur", which is NOT about farming but about an entrepreneurial life well lived and wacky ideas that worked to build a $1million+ business. *Patti is an award winning marketing and sales executive, with 30+ years of experience at IBM and many start-up companies. Self-employed since 1992, she helped start and run a 7-figure 20 employee software company for 10 years before opening a thriving garden center and hobby farm. In total, she has started 11 businesses. * She was not a born sales person but a shy geek who learned how to sell. Optimistic introverts actually make THE best sales professionals. As she is incensed that business schools still do not train in sales skills (NO Sales = NO Business!?!) and after her successful workshops on Sales Skills JUST For Entrepreneurs, she recently started her own Entrepreneurs Sales School. EntrepreneursSalesSchool.com*Patti says "If I can be a farmer, then you can be anything you want to be -- as long as you have some basic sales and marketing skills that is!" She loves to help make your passion profitable with her proven practical advice.*She believes that using your creative brain will bring you lots more clients to your FUN events, then just throwing a lot of money at a ho-hum boring one. Have fun and make money has been her motto for 25 years and the more fun you have, the more money you will make. If you are not having fun, then who cares about the money! *Connect with Patti@smallbizsalescoach.ca Website: SmallBizSalesCoach.ca EntrepreneursSalesSchool.com/entrepreneurs-sales-school/ LinkedIn linkedin.com/in/pattipokorchak Twitter: twitter.com/SmallBizSalesCo Patti Pokorchak, MBA (she got her MBA before it became trendy, so please do not hold it against her!)
Review:
"I thought your book was excellent. Practical and a fun read. Your sales experience really shines through but so does your 'folksy' approach that I love so much. Really easy to follow. Truly inspiring. Thank you thank you. Judy Croon is a comedian, motivational speaker, Second City stand-up coach, radio host and author.
