Elinor Stutz, founder and CEO of Smooth Sale, specializes in sales training for entrepreneurs, network marketers and beginning salespeople. After 13 years of working in corporate sales, Elinor now reveals her self-taught approach to sales that leveraged her success beyond that of her most seasoned colleagues.

Beginning her career as a copier saleswoman with a phonebook as her only source of leads, Elinor was able to rise past the chauvinism in her male-dominated office and turn ice cold leads into trusted partners. She went on to become the top salesperson in her region.

As she advanced her career to networked printers and then hi-tech, recognition in the form of President’s Club, and Regional and National Awards accompanied every step. Elinor’s past corporate client roster includes Visa, Sony, Hewlett-Packard, and U.S. Geological Survey, as well as a growing number of high-tech companies in Silicon Valley.

Committed to passing on her knowledge to others, Elinor emphasizes relationship building and adapting sales techniques to suit individual personalities. As an author, instructor, public speaker, and radio guest, she has helped countless individuals and companies incorporate this practice into their businesses.

Elinor helps entrepreneurs, network marketers and beginning salespeople (0-5 years) to build a dynamic business. She has taught business people across the country to overcome their fears and turn their stormy sales cycle into a Smooth Sale.

Among her many products, Elinor’s book, Nice Girls DO Get the Sale: Relationship Building that Gets Results", published by Sourcebooks was translated into three languages and is selling worldwide.  It landed her in TIME Magazine and on a live interview on ABC-TV KGO “San Francisco View from the Bay” in addition to many radio interviews.  Elinor writes a column for Bay Area BusinessWoman News, articles for Diversity Edge Magazine and a bi-monthly Sales Tips ezine fior which you may subscribe at www.smoothsale.net
