AFPnewThe ad rep sitting across from you will tell you how important it is that you buy the big ad package that he has designed just for you.

How do you have any idea of knowing if it’s going to work?

The short answer is, you can’t, unless you go in knowing as much about what he’s trying to sell you as he does.

We offer a class in our Building the Machine series that isn’t popular with our friends in the sales and marketing business.
