Harvey Mackay is a man who has taught me —- and millions of others — a lot about the real world of selling, business, and frankly, about living a full, enriched life. He is a consummate gentleman and a scholar or how to live and work with people.
I’ve known Harvey since we met in 1993 when he graciously gave me an interview for the National Speakers Association’s monthly audio magazine called Voices of Experience. I was the Chair of that audio news magazine then and he was a man I admired. Yes, I had some trepidation about meeting a New York Times Best-Selling author then, but Harvey quickly made me feel right at home and comfortable. We have a fabulous interview, packed with many sage words of advice from this networking master. Later on, he joined the National Speakers Association and soon thereafter received its prestigious Council of Peers Award of Excellence (CPAE) for lifetime achievement. As part of that, he was inducted into the Speaker Hall of Fame for his outstanding achievements.
Well, roll it forward several years and Harvey is still a man I listen to —- more carefully than ever. He has just authored his seventh (yes, that is 7th!) New York Times Best-Selling book and this one is an absolute MUST-READ!!! (yes, it requires those exclamation marks). I have already had a wonderful Skype interview with him (see the earlier episode on this Blog). Now, I’m excited to annonce that Harvey Hackay is joining the Orange County Library System’s first even meeting of “Online with the Author” on Tuesday 6 December 2011. We are conducting this live via the wonders of Skype so that participants can see and hear him live — and ask questions! This is an amazing opportunity for you to join this master of selling and doing business today.
I’ll have the distinct honor of facilitating and moderating this event for the Library. I hope to see you there as we explore what works and what doesn’t work today in this fast-changing environment. If you are in the field of selling (and aren’t we all today?) you owe it to your career and yourself to hear what this amazing man has to say. If you can’t make it to the event, run, do not walk, to your nearest online book store and purchase a copy of his new book, “The Mackay MBA of Selling in the Real World.” Also be sure to check out his Facebook page on the book here.
Mark your calendar for Tuesday, 6 December 2011 @ 4:30 pm Eastern Standard Time at the Orange County Library System in downtown Orlando. 407.835.7323 is the number to call for information. There is no charge for attendance but bring your questions as you learn about what works in selling today — and what you have to avoid in order to succeed.
The address is:
Orange County Library
101 E. Central Blvd.
Orlando, FL 32801
407.835.7323
I hope you can join us for the historic event. You will be glad you made it.
