Our Philosophy

An Investment in the Future of the Profession of Selling

Central to the Success of the Sales Program at 石榴直播 is the belief in and implementation of the following philosophy:

The Profession of Selling is an Honorable endeavor that has made significant contributions to the growth and development of this country and the economy worldwide. The sales profession has made substantial contributions toward improving the quality of life of individuals and the profitability of industry.

  • Honorable - Purest, highest, noblest kind of goodness, honesty, fairness, or integrity in one's beliefs and actions, gracious, noble, excellent, disciplined in the inner life

Mission of the Salesperson in Business and Industry

To assist organizations and individuals in improving their business and the quality of life of the organization and their respective customers. Salespeople accomplish this mission through partnering with individuals and organizations and uncovering and identifying the needs, issues, goals, and problems of their prospects and clients, and developing solutions that are beneficial to all parties.

The salesperson can only accomplish his or her mission through professional, ethical, and integrity-laden conduct. The salesperson accomplishes this mission through honorable practice that considers the interests of his or her clients and prospective clients. The salesperson persuades and influences without manipulation or coercion.

"You can have everything you want out of life if you help enough other people get what they want out of life."
