Vincent Van Gogh is considered to be one of the greatest artists in the world. He had extraordinary painting ability and creativity that rivaled the Renaissance Masters. Vincent Van Gogh was a prodigy. Despite his raw talent, his art was either criticized or hardly noticed in his day. Now his paintings can go for over 130 million dollars. (1) Clearly, raw talent does not always lead to reached goals and a prosperous life. In the sales world, employees and employers search for the false idea of “the sales gene.” Employers look for the perfect sales person — a Vincent Van Gogh of sales — to hire; they look for someone with empathy, charisma, and boldness. We desire and strive to be that perfect salesperson: someone born with the natural talents needed to succeed. Obviously we all want to be successful, but nobody is born with a gene to see success. We are born with natural talents, but that doesn’t equate always to results. Without a success gene, we are dependent on a system to achieve results.
Although we may not recognize it, everyone sells in their life. There are many times in our day when we are engaged in the “sales process.” When we want to convince someone that our opinion on politics is the right one, we are selling. When a parent tries to persuade their child to do or not do something, they are selling. When we try to convince ourselves to do something hard, we are selling. Even when we make goals to improve ourselves, we are participating in the same principles that govern sales. Everyone sells.
Griffin Hill’s founder, Dr. Scott Baird created the Griffin Hill Integrity Sales System. In a Google search for “selling,” you will find that the most common topic is: “How do I get a sale?” The Griffin Hill Integrity Sales System is the answer. From the title, this system is founded on integrity, but it is also a principle based selling system – meaning that it is governed by natural laws in human psychology. It is the organic, natural, and pure element of the selling world. It is sales at its finest and brings the user to higher planes of success.
Everyone sells in their life, although most do not realize it. The System, because it is founded on natural principles can be applied and used to reach goals in almost any area of life – not just the world of sales and entrepreneurship. It is not uncommon for us to hear that the System has helped clients in their personal life. One individual learned from the “Overcoming the Objection Play” how to speak to argumentative people without becoming argumentative themselves. Another learned from the “Needs Audit” how to ask good questions to facilitate self-discovery. In short – the System can be put into the context of any worthwhile goal and it becomes the way to achieve it. We invite you to learn more and try it out for yourself.

Every parent is familiar with “fridge art” — the steady flow of drawings and paintings produced by children for household display. The gallery of choice for most families is the refrigerator. In our family, occasionally, we selected a piece of “fridge art” for framing. The transformation was immediate and astonishing. The frame made the chosen piece instantly more professional and attractive. Instead of child art trying to look professional, it became professional art conveying a childlike quality. The frame made all the difference.
