Echoes To Remember
Crossing the Tracks of Incredible Customer Service: Modern Business – Marketing Methods & Salesmanship
In the first book, Echoes Across the Tracks, Charlie hops aboard a modern train from New Orleans to Chicago rather than rebook through the airline after his flight has been canceled. His adventurous and at times mysterious experiences on the train to Chicago lead Charlie to share and learn life lessons from characters that cover an expanded time period, including time in 1914 Jackson, MS and Memphis, TN.
Upon arrival in Chicago, our aging business leader, Charlie, questions what he can and can’t share about his time travel experience for fear of being misunderstood or seen as senile. What happens over the next 48 hours has Charlie even more strongly committed to sharing his years of business experience and reminding those in his path that quality customer service can be provided by anyone willing to consider the other person first and remembering it is all about them.
Zig Ziglar’s oldest lesson, “You can always get what you want if you help enough other people get what they want,” is just one timeless life lesson. If you enjoy a journey, you will realize that it is about the experience along the way, not necessarily just the destination. Sit back and enjoy the ride.
Echoes Of Success
Modern Business – Marketing Methods & Salesmanship
Author David C. Moravec has taken an innovative approach with a fresh look at age-old business lessons by providing insight into and condensing them into bite-sized sessions across 112 pages. Echoes of Success - Timeless Sales Lessons from 1914 - Volume 1 gives emerging sales professionals and seasoned sales leaders a glimpse into the past, while exploring differences in technology, available tools, transportation challenges, and foundational components of: Know, Like, and Trust, and Referral-based sales..
1914 was a crucial year in the United States. We were approaching the 50th anniversary of the end of the Civil War. We were about to embark on a journey to support our allies in Europe as World War I marched on. And yet, it also marked a turn for modern technology and consumerism across the country, where professional salespeople emerged and advertising executives drove demand for products such as refrigerators, sewing machines, and automobiles, by helping us see how these items, and many others, would provide value for an individual or family. Step back in time with David's new approach to professional education for sales leaders and slow the pace of relationship building by putting down electronic devices in exchange for a conversation and personal interaction. Enjoy Echoes of Success, which follows Moravec's business parables, Echoes Across the Tracks (April 2024), and Echoes to Remember (May 2025)
