How to sell
A narrative approach and practical guide.
➡️ Will be cross posted to 🌺 Genre: growth 🌱
As some of you know, I’ve recently started a new job with State Farm. I’m very grateful to the office that took a chance on me here in the City of Oaks—Raleigh— in North Carolina.
I have no intentions of quitting writing or doing whatever it is I do online, including on Substack.
If you read me for fiction , I’m going to continue posting the story of Eathel the Bastard, with updates as regularly as I can; it’ll remain free forever, but you can choose to support me by clicking the link in my sub stack profile to buy the book. It’s just a bare-bones PDF at this point, but I’m experimenting with basically adding in a feature to Substack where you can process a one time payment.

Anyway, I’m going to be experimenting with different content and highlighting some of my poems in addition to if Eathel the Bastard.
this is more of the story of me, learning something completely new. Even though I have a significant amount of experience in enterprise technology sales (whatever that means), I’ve never sold anything like insurance before. For instance, State Farm only has four basic products, and they never change. I’m not sure whether that’ll be a relief or point of pain in the future.
I’m going to document the journey as a kind of story of someone pivoting in his career due to getting laid off.
Follow me on my other socials. All the links are included handling in Substack as well.
It’ll be interesting to really mess around with the different features and push the platform to its limits.
This will, for example, be the first post that I upload purely from the mobile application. [Update: it failed]
Early in my time on here, Substack did that with (I think it was chapter 2) a podcast episode and I lost an hour and a half of amazing, funny stuff.
BTW: I also have a podcast. Some people have been asking about an audiobook version, all posts are disseminated further into YouTube and onto Spotify. Another reason to like Substack.
