Don Draper on Business, Marketing and Sales


"What would Don Draper do?" - what a great question.

Although he is clearly an irascible rogue (he lies, he cheats, he leads people on) he is also sublimely charming. His sales pitches and his ability to get under the skin of the client is a delight to watch. 


While his private life is really a total mess... when it comes to business he is great! 


Lessons From 'Mad Men': Sales Tips From Don Draper:
What a great quote:


"Based on what you've told me, this is what I suggest we do"
I suggest you try this with your  next client meeting.

By seizing the initiative, doing the hard work and appealing to hearts as well as heads, Draper establishes trust. The client in turn surrenders to a salesman who so obviously knows more about an aspect of his business than he does. And as viewers, like his colleague reduced to tears, we too surrender to Draper.
