HES NOT A VILLAGE HERO. HES AN EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW.

Jeffrey Gitomer's Foreword For The Book No Condition is Permanent

Welcome to the Renaissance Waverly Hotel. Can I help you with your bags? Those are the first words spoken to me by Rene Godefroy. As he put my bags onto the luggage cart he noticed my book, The Sales Bible.

Did you write that book? Yes I did. I smiled puffing out my chest a bit. How can I get a copy? he asked without hesitating. Ill tell you what, you can get one tonight. Would you rather have a book or a tip? Ill take the book! he responded with a big smile.

Are you a member of the National Speakers Association? Rene asked. Yes, I am. How do you know about that organization? I was a bit taken aback by his question. How does a bellman know about the NSA? Im a member of the Georgia Speakers Association myself, and I plan to join the National this year. Cool. Are you a speaker? Yes, I am, he said with the self-assurance o a twenty-year veteran.

We then played the name-game for a few minutes. Do you know this guy, do you know that guy. Turns out he knew all the people that mattered, at least all the ones I knew.

What are you doing working as a bellman? I wanted to know. Im not making a full-time living as a speaker, so I do this for extra money, he said as he smiled. This guy sure smiles a lot, I thought.
