Magnetic-Hypnotic Marketer

When JC called out his twelve, he told impetuous Peter, the fisherman, that he would make him a fisher of men. From some of the Greek texts, it could have been translated, "I will teach you how to catch and convert men by your speech". So what is the difference between JC's technique and the "magnetic-hypnotic marketer"? One huge one that I know of is the motivation. One is born out of selfless giving and the other out of selfish gain.

For over three decades I have heard professional sales trainers tell me that I have to master these manipulative techniques to help the poor prospect that isn't smart enough to get out of his own way at decision time. Of course it had nothing to do with closing more sales and fattening my wallet. It is all just to help the prospect.

This coy coaxing is a large ingredient in the sales concoction the tastes so bad to 99 out on 100 people. It is just a lot more fun to be a match-maker. It builds slower for sure, but with the quality of endurance.

On my profile page, you will read one of my deep core values and that is to love people and use things.

Wait for me, Pete!
