Would you have any interest in me launching a podcast on Sales History?
(my "1-Question" ask is at the bottom)
If someone were to ask me, “What’s your hobby?”, as strange as it sounds, I’d answer, “the history of the sales profession”.
While there was a book 15 years ago on the subject, I’ve found that a lot of it was (a) incorrect, and also (b) missing some incredible information and stories.
As a matter of fact, I spent my downtime over the Labor Day weekend reading the book, Salesmanship, by Elmer Ellsworth Ferris...from 1924. It’s incredible. These books from the early 20th century need to be brought back to life.

The podcast would be a combination of shorter, story focused episodes, plus potentially longer, interview based episodes:

Here's my EXTREMELY QUICK ask.
This is a link to a one-question survey. It simply asks you to score from 1-5 your interest...1 = not interested, 5 = very interested. (it also has a comment box for any anonymous thoughts or suggestions)
And, if you are interested, check out www.saleshistorian.com and pop your name/email in the boxes at the bottom to be kept up to date. I stood up a quick website because I wanted to grab the URL. 😄
