Back in the day, I delivered a 3-part series to my local Chamber of Commerce of the 7 Deadly Sins of selling.
It's a condensed version of my Make Every Sale program, which is included in my Inner Circle [Sales Training](https://thesaleswhisperer.com/blog/sales-training-formula-enjoy-filing-taxes).

I then decided to open that 3-part series with a review of my best-selling CD and report, "The 7 Deadly Sins of Selling."
[](https://thesaleswhisperer.com/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLLxyWIgLlJ%2B0qVpYDVL4OQHUc7jMo8P0BfA7ppVlq%2BYICQ5QVEj6SpFGnBhQIgNC3eu3F65Ikz7Tjf0P62iunA%2FqdArXXmqt%2BC7%2F8X27sBFALeZkN3usYh2zuaWLK9sNl%2F47t%2FeQ1txhOFRmI25jotV8mbUNuw2NXbZwOdR9uY15zVZhtYKeEljj8LVcDaqSxV6KK4YzOAAtoaHKGXCbhsc%2BA%3D%3D&webInteractiveContentId=190434884110&portalId=443614)
So in the second issue of [The Sales Podcast](https://www.thesaleswhisperer.com/podcast), I reviewed "The 7 Deadly Sins of Selling.
As you listen to it, you'll realize how timeless these concepts are.
I got into sales after [leaving the Air Force in 1997](https://thesaleswhisperer.com/about).
I started The Sales Whisperer® in 2006, and created The 7 Deadly Sins of Selling in late 2006 or early 2007.
I created [The Sales Podcast](https://www.thesaleswhisperer.com/podcast) in mid-2013, so these concepts are decades old and the podcast itself is well over a decade old, yet these concepts are just as fresh and relevant today as ever.
Enjoy this discussion of the 1st of "**The 7 Deadly Sins of Selling**."
