10 sales lessons that helped this guy close over $178k in deals

Tech people who are at least a bit social are usually quite good at sales. Not the slimy, golf course sales, but just selling products/projects they are passionate about. It's always a shame people take to hiring 'sales people' right out the door instead of trying it themselves. For instance I like doing sales, especially to capable buyers; it's a great feeling when someone signs a $100k contract with you instead of, say, Oracle, because they think you are more capable than the smooth talking, suited guys from the big companies.

I would definitely recommend trying it yourself first and these are quite good points.
