We talk about the audience issues that assure participation and good reviews in understanding the alphabetic basic concepts of selling. What do parents, politicians, teachers, preachers, and lawyers share in common with salespeople? They all persuade others to accept their ideas with a bit of charm and confidence. These manners will sell more in this less economy. Join us in learning how to sell anything!

From Graceland to God's Amazing Grace: Edie Hand Story

The way I see it, a southern girl's life is about the four M's: Mentors, Men, Manners, and Money. Ladies north of the Mason Dixon line might see life a little different but no matter where you are from geographically, you must learn to seize every opportunity. Edie understands trials and triumphs as a three time cancer survivor. She knows how to learn lessons from ones faith, family, and friends. Edie tries to take the best qualities of those around her and turn it into positive projections. Hey, she grew up knowing where to get a Cadillac , cause her cousin, Elvis Presley, was the King of Rock N' Roll. She is an ordinary lady that has been privileged to live an extraordinary life through God's amazing grace. Psalms 37:4 Delight in the Lord and he shall give you the desires of your heart. You'll enjoy her southern charm of story telling. Her story just might be your story too.

Edie knows how to share the art of living!
