I'll take the skills that I've learned in the sales profession, and I'll show you how I've applied these to every area of my life and how you can too. Enjoy today's TSL moment and see how you can apply it to your life today. For more on the sales life. Go to marshbuice.com that's M a R S H B U I C E. Stay.

Customers would ask me questions about products and I didn't even know. And I was like, you know what, that's a good question. I didn't just make something up. I found out see, because of all that, when I got demoted, I still had value. So when the choice came, do we fire marsh or can he still provide some sort of. , the answer was yes, because I could fill in, I wasn't a one trick pony I could fill in on any position into the front end of the store and the store. Wouldn't miss a beat. You don't wait. You don't get it. And then, oh, I guess I need to learn it. No, you just learn it. And how freeing is that?
