SILVERBACK SELLERS


by Hank Trisler

So you have a few miles on your chassis. So you've got a little gray in your hair, or hair in your gray. So occasionally you lose your car in the parking lot and can't accurately recall the spec sheets. Does that mean you can no longer function as a sales professional? Hell, no.

Selling is one of very few TRULY equal opportunity employers. It just doesn't matter what gender you are, or which race or how old. If you can think and listen and talk or write, you can sell.

Silverback Sellers is a group dedicated to the furtherance of senior salespeople.

Why a Silverback? Well, they're gentle creatures until you mess with them. They neither offer, nor suffer offense gladly. They got to be old because they learned to survive in their environment, just like a good senior salesperson. They help the younger members of the family learn to survive, as well.

Our group will share ideas, leads and experiences. There will be a place to pitch products, proposals and opportunities, but not in the main discussion area. We'll have a separate area for commercial ventures and the main discussion threads will remain blissfully spam free.

Please take two minutes and forty seconds to squint at the video attached. You might find it informative.



I think you'll find this a refreshing and illustrative group, but your input will be necessary to make it that way. Please click on this link http://bit.ly/44UYKa to visit our group and hopefully join. Your thoughts, questions and comments are welcome, as always.

  1. Hank,
    Thank you for the invitation to join Silverback Sellers. I am honored to be in your group. I recently turned 61. I have enjoyed success as a sales professional since 1968. I look forward to reading the various sales tips to enhance my competitive advantage and help others win. I 'bet' you have a collective brain trust approaching 1000+ years of experience among the Silverback Sellers.
    Cheers
