Sales inspiration…
Today in 1899, in one hour after dinner, Elbert Hubbard wrote a 1500-word essay (10-minute read) titled "A Message to Garcia."
A right tale of initiative and responsibility, the piece went on to be printed more than 40 million era (it’s still well-known with the huge dogs of business and required reading for Marine Corps recruits and Naval Academy students).
Hubbard’s first sales job… selling soap.
Get inspired and pass it along to your team.

(Here’s the recently produced PBS program on Hubbard. Chapter 8, Hubbard’s Rise, is the segment on the Garcia tale.)
