David Buckless aai
aaiAiSelling, to me is a deeply personal and intimate business action. Taking a genuine interest in my client's business and becoming an integral part of their success is the best way to develop business. There is no business if there is no trust. If there is no trust, there are no sales, if there are no sales, nothing happens. What sets me apart from other sales persons is a passionate desire to succeed as a team, the team
being the selling company and the buying company.aaii D. Buckless
