Need Catering Sales? Learn to Close from “The Bronzer” – Stu Larkin

Posted on by Erle Dardick

Someone on my team at MonkeyMedia Software sent me this fantastic mini-documentary about a great sales guy.  He’s always “closing”.  Send it to your catering sales managers.  They’ll love it!

It’s basic, simple and true.  I love the part in the middle where he talks about his different closing techniques…. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.  At the very least, call Stu to bronze your shoes!

Stu Larkin is a dying breed: one of the last traveling salesmen left in America. He travels the country taking orders for bronzed baby shoes, which has been a popular American tradition for over 80 years. This short documentary follows a quirky and passionate character as he provides a rare insight into his craft, human nature and small town Americana.
