About John Voris, Founder
listenWhile attending the University of California, Berkeley, as a philosophy student,
John first experimented with sales as a means of support.
A sales failure from the beginning, he managed to
squeeze in as many sales and prospecting seminars as possible between classes
with the hopes of rapid improvement. Despite the inspiring motivational talks he
experienced and his growing library of sales training manuals, he continued his
failing streak. Bouncing from vacuum cleaner sales to encyclopedias to brushes
to life insurance, he found that canned speeches, false enthusiasm and forced
quotas just didn’t work for him, so he left sales behind.
A few years later, he was offered a sales
challenge he couldn’t refuse and jumped back in. But this time he decided to
disregard everything he had heard or been taught about sales. Instead, he
applied past and current material from the philosophy of language and various
sciences from neurology to sociology that concerned the formation and practice
of language.
