Are You Staying Curious?
Here’s my article in TIVA‘s September 2011 printed newsletter. Thanks to the TIVA folks for allowing me to reprint it here on my website.
Somehow there exists the stereotypical notion that gregarious, extroverted people make for the best salespeople.
Mind you, there is nothing wrong with being gregarious or extroverted, but I would argue that success as a salesperson is determined more by another trait, that of being curious.

David Ryan to join Chesapeake Systems in Baltimore
It is with mixed emotions that I announce that I will be leaving Video Labs to take a sales and marketing position with Chesapeake Systems in Baltimore.
Chesapeake is a value-added reseller representing a variety of manufacturers (including Apple), and it is a systems integration firm that works primarily with media-centric clients to help devise solutions for their post-production, digital asset management and digital storage challenges. Chesapeake likes to say, “Creative IT for the Creative Professional.”
Is Everyone on Your Team Thinking Like a Salesperson?
The following is a recent article from my ”Sales & Marketing Minute” column that is printed monthly in the TIVA newsletter. The folks at TIVA have kindly agreed to let me post the articles here on DRMS on a two-month delayed basis. TIVA is a fun and superb organization, and if you are a media professional and haven’t checked them out, then I highly suggest you do. – D
During this drawn-out recession, I have had the opportunity to counsel over a dozen people within my media “network” who have been searching for new employment. When I have my first conversation with someone who is “looking,” they usually already know that I work in sales, so I off-handedly ask them, “Do you have any interest in sales?”
