What has been hailed as the best graphic novel about sales ever created by two individuals from Massachusetts.
About us
During a series of lengthy car trips, Tom (Stearns) expressed his ambition to expand his brand and elevate his consulting practice to a broader audience. In discussions, Peter (Cleary) suggested a graphic novel approach to effectively convey stories and capture the essence of sales. With Tom's proficiency in organizing a Google document, managing artwork payments, and utilizing Zoom, the team initiated the planning process. The envisioned concept aimed to be gritty, fun, dark, and visceral, with unpredictable endings. Upon finding Eli (5 Stone), who captured the essence of the graphic novel, the team collaborated to produce what has been hailed as the best Graphic Novel about sales ever created by two individuals from Massachusetts.

Another clip from the recent Graphic Sales Stories podcast episode. We know you need another podcast in your life. Watch it here: https://lnkd.in/eTbDMtuB #linkedin #sales #saletips
Your LinkedIn profile is NOT your company’s prospecting channel to abuse! It’s YOUR professional network. Unlike the phone or email, LinkedIn stays with YOU throughout your career. If you unthinkingly blast people trying to get a meeting and hurt your reputation, you’re ruining a network that may be helpful to you for many many years to come. 1 .Be thoughtful about every connection you make. 2. Focus on starting a long-term relationship. 3. Don’t allow your company to force you to do anything on LinkedIn you don’t want directly associated with you. They have no right to control your usage of social media. 4. Protect your reputation always. — The video clip is from Peter Cleary and my Graphic Sales Stories podcast.

In this episode of the Graphic Sales Stories podcast, Peter and Tom explore the ups and downs, and downs, of cold calling. What drove their meaning and lessons behind the comic, "The Joy of Cold Calling" and why despite it all you should keep dialing. They also share quite a few tragic stories of their years of cold calling themselves. (We call it a podcast but you actually kind of need to watch it as we also share the comic during the episode.)
