B2B publishing outfits are being sold left and right-is Secret Sales Guy's next?

In publishing, keeping this whole enterprise afloat ain't too easy. At the very low end of six figures, I occupy a fairly annoying demographic position: people who are statistically "rich" but, by East Coast standards, live a fairly cash-strapped and frustrating existence. Despite the fact that the monthly commission check has been fairly chunky of late, most of it is well spent before it hits my bank account, and there's a long list of people lined up to take a piece of it. Luckily, SSG has been lucky in real estate (like everyone else), so he knows that upon death, there may be something for the family to fall back on. For now, it's root, hog or die.

So, dear reader. don't underestimate the casual way SSB approaches sales. He may appear nonchalant, but that next big program he sells you just may mean the difference between pasta and beer versus a nice ribeye and a decent bottle of Cabernet. Agencies and clients: Won't you please support SSG?
