It’s Only Common Sense: Storytelling That Sells—Stop Pitching, Start Painting Pictures
09/15/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseLet me tell you something that most salespeople — even the ones flashing Rolexes and bragging about crushing their quotas—still haven’t figured out: Facts don’t close deals, stories do.

COVID, Tough Sales, and What Made Me a Better Salesperson
08/12/2025 | Daniel Beauvois, The Component StoreBefore 2020, we approached sales differently. A persistent, gritty salesperson could approach businesses daily without an appointment. They would often be turned away, but sometimes, they would be given a shot. Then, in March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic became official, and things started to shut down. When we finally came back, everything had changed, creating an impenetrable barrier for outside salespeople.
