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.

For years, I have heard people say they feel that the company is exploiting them. They may be right. And some form of exploitation will always exist. But I have always had a different point of view. And it is this: We have the power to exploit any company instead of them exploiting us. Let me explain…

If you have heard my speech or read my book No Condition is Permanent, you already know how I came to America unable to speak English and with only $5. Apparently, I would be a prime target for exploitation.

But instead, I was motivated to seize every opportunity that would increase my value in the workforce. I didn’t wait for the company to motivate me. Their idea of employee motivation was to fit their agenda. But I had an agenda of my own.

Would you like to know how to do the same? Wouldn’t it be awesome if you could do the exploitation instead? Good. Here’s how to do it:
