At 9AM eastern war time, CBS World News signed on with Douglas Edwards reporting. On D-Day Edwards was twenty-six years old. He'd been hired in 1942 by CBS as a reporter and understudy for John Daly. When Daly was sent overseas to cover the war in 1943 Edwards was promoted to lead The World Today, World News Today, and Report to the Nation. In 1945, Edwards was sent to London to cover the final weeks of the war with Edward R. Murrow. He was then appointed the network's news bureau chief in Paris and assigned to cover post-war elections in Germany and the start of the Nuremberg trials.

Once World News Today signed off Robert Trout was back on the air for the final forty-five minutes of the special news broadcast.

Quite literally the “last protege of Napoleon Hill”, Ben Gay III has been called a living legend in the sales world. After 50+ years in professional selling, he has been the #1 salesperson in every organization in which he has worked. At age 25 he was president of what was then the world's largest direct sales/network marketing company, having been personally trained by fellow sales legends J. Douglas Edwards, Dr. Napoleon Hill, Earl Nightingale, William Penn Patrick, Zig Ziglar and many other sales giants. One of the most famous, popular, and powerful sales trainers in the world, Ben now writes and publishes “The Closers”, a sales training series that is considered to be “The Foundation of Professional Selling.” Ben has been my guest in the past and his episodes are the most listened to and downloaded episodes in the long history of this podcast! We have actually had people tell us that it was like listening to two old friends sitting in front of a fire and just chatting about his mentor Napoleon Hill and everything about sales that you can possibly imagine.  The Last Protege Of Dr. Napoleon Hill In order to be successful, you have to surround yourself with people who are going to help you grow. That's why it's so important to have a mentor and who better than a living sales legend who was mentored by Dr. Napoleon Hill? In this conversation, I will ask him about the origins of his Mentoring Dynamics Program and how it has helped many people achieve their professional goals.

Dear Fellow Salesperson:    In all my years of professional selling, I've never lost the wonder I first experienced as a young boy watching my father and his salespeople give their sales presentations.   Although I didn't yet appreciate the years of preparation that had preceded those sessions, knew my dad and his salespeople had the amazing ability to move people to take action through the sheer power of their ability to talk. I Was hooked.   Then, a few years later, I found myself in a direct sales organization where I was literally surrounded by the men and women who were the top salespeople in the nation at that time. Imagine! A young man from Atlanta, Georgia was hobnobbing with the likes of J. Douglas Edwards, Fred Herman, Earl Nightingale, Zig Ziglar, Napoleon Hill, Merle Fraser, MelLanius, Bill Dempsey, Gladys Terrell, Hal Krause, Cavett Robert, Gladys Smith, Ray Considine, Larry Wilson, Bill Gove, Walter Wells, Barbara Dempsey and the greatest Master Closer I personally ever worked with, James H. Rucker, Jr.    And keep in mind, I wasn't watching these people on videotape. I wasn't listening to them on cassettes in my car. I wasn't watching them through binoculars from the third balcony of some auditorium. I Was out prospecting with them. We gave meetings together. We closed sales together. We traveled together. We ate together. We visited in one another's homes.    I don't believe a sales environment like that had ever existed before. I know it hasn't since. But in my live seminars I now teach exactly what I've learned from them and with them...and from the thousands of other sales experiences I've had over the past 30+ years.          

Douglas Edwards had just quit as the network news anchor for CBS. It was thought that television networks would get out of the news business, on THIS DAY, April 16th with Chris Conley. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On episode 65, we welcome philosopher Douglas Edwards to discuss the similarities between the philosophical quest for truth and the search for the behind-the-scenes information about professional wrestling, how story-lines get entangled with reality, how the Montreal Screwjob affected the pro-wrestling industry, character development and how wrestlers’ identities often mimic our own hidden desires, the popularity of Stone Cold Steve Austin, how pro-wrestling epitomized capitalism and the fight for workers’ rights, the appeal of fan exploration and being in the know about backstage events and wrestlers’ private lives, and the 3 faces of Foley as the embodiment of our existential inability to foster consistent identities. Douglas Edwards is a philosopher at Utica College in New York state. He is the author of The Metaphysics of Truth (2018), Properties (2014), and the editor of Truth: A Contemporary Reader (2019). His latest book is Philosophy Smackdown (2020).

Douglas Edwards, Dr. Napoleon Hill, Earl Nightingale, William Penn Patrick, Zig Ziglar, and many other sales giants. Ben has been the king of sales for decades, and he has seen the impact of technology coming into your world and change everything. Given all of the noise that's out there, it is more difficult than ever to capture someone's attention. Nothing has changed in selling as far as the fundamentals. The technology we have today allows us to continue doing the same things that have always worked, but faster. People will always want to know how your product or service will benefit them personally, and that is still the same. We simply have the technology to get that message out in front of more people. Ben Gay is launching a new platform called “The Last Protege.” Dr. Hill had an enormous impact on Ben in the two and a half years they worked together before he tragically passed away. At a seminar Ben was at, he was connected with a man, Mark Harris, who was living encyclopedia of information about Dr. Hill. Dr. Hill had said, before he died, that his greatest mistake was not mentoring anyone. With Ben providing the personal aspects and Mark providing the technical aspects, they were able to document everything that Dr. Hill wrote and taught in language that you can understand today.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “People always asked what it was like to know all these legendary figures. They figured we all sat around in white bathrobes, cross-legged on the floor, saying profound things to each other. They were all just trying to sell their books or records back then, and trying to get more speaking engagements. They were just regular people trying to make a better living.”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

Add Some BANTER To Your Next Sales Call   I am a permanent student of sales.  I study the books and tapes from the greats – J. Douglas Edwards, Charlie Cullen, Tom Hopkins, Brian Tracy and Zig Ziglar.  I follow this generation of sale's trainers such as Grant Cardone, Jeffrey Gitomer and Victor Antonio.  Now Victor Antonio is someone I like, because I can see that his methods will work here in Japan, unlike a lot of other sales training which is more suitable for an American environment.   Victor mentioned something in his recent Sales Influence podcast that I thought was a great insight.  He was talking about how to measure if a sales call was successful or not.  He came up with the acronym BANTER and I wondered how we could apply this to Japan.  Victor reckons you should be getting six out of six. Let's try it and see how Japan stacks up   He nominated a simple scoring system of one point or zero depending on whether the elements of BANTER had been successfully gathered during the sale's call or not.  Acronyms like BANTER are difficult to apply in Japan because they are based entirely on the English language, so they don't translate well.   Nevertheless the idea is a good one. To score perfectly would give you six points and so you can gauge how well the call went, based on how close to six you got.   The B in BANTER stands for budget.  We need to know this from our sale's call don't we. Does the client have budget for the good or service you are going to provide?  Do you know what the budget is, has it been fixed, are there limitations on size or timing of expenditure?  Japan is a difficult place to find out specifically about the budget.  Often the answers given are vague because the buyer doesn't want to release that information.  They worry if they tell you too much, they will be lured into overspending the money. We will probably score zero for B.   The A stands for authority and this relates to were the people in the meeting authorised to make a decision? In Japan's case, we will definitely score a zero here too.  It is usually the case that the consensus decision making system requires people sitting a few meters away, hidden behind the meeting room wall, to have some say in the final decision.  They do not ever attend the meetings, but they can veto the decision.  We may have our supporters in the meeting with us but they rarely have final say over the expenditure for the budget.  We score another zero.   The N relates to need.  Does the buyer have a strong need for our solution.  We must get permission first in Japan in order to ask questions to uncover need.  Here the usual methodology though is to pummel the buyers with details of the solution prior to uncovering what the need may be.  Japan would get a zero score in this category.   The T is for timing.  When does the client need the solution by?  This is a critical factor because we might have a supply problem if the need is strong but the logistics cannot match the required timetable.  Japan is a country where decision making is glacial but the execution expectation default is yesterday.  Usually we can find out the required timing in Japan, so we score a one.   The E is for engagement.  Was the buyer showing interest, were they engaged in the details of the solution.  Were they asking the types of questions that tell you the interest level is very high.  There is both a quality aspect and quantity aspect involved here. Japanese buyers all have strapped on their laser beam for determining potential trouble so they definitely want to ask a lot of questions and really wrestle down the detail.  It is like the issue of objections.  Getting no objections is a worrying sign of no interest whatsoever.  We should prefer to get an objection than to get no interest. Japan scores a point in this category.   Finally R – was there a request for a proposal or a trial or a second meeting.  Was there some interest in advancing the sale to the next level?  In Japan often the meeting end is left very vague.  “We will think about it” being the most common result and they do need to think about it, because there are decisions makers not in the room, who need to be consulted.  So Japan would score a zero.   Adding up the scores, we have reached two out of six for judging meeting success in Japan.  That is about right I would say.  If you can make here in sales, then you can make it anywhere, because it is so difficult here!
