Wendy Connick's first sales position was a summer job selling vacuum cleaners door-to-door. Eventually she switched over to the informational side of sales and began writing and managing all content on the Sales site for About.com (now The Balance). She has also written for the National Association of Sales Professionals blog. As a professional writer, Wendy now focuses on helping other people master the art of selling and other crucial life skills. She is the author of Sales 101.
