Some of you have probably heard of Jeffrey Gitomer. He’s an author and speaker regarding sales. Almost all of you have heard of Roger Staubach. He is a Heisman Trophy winner for the Naval Academy. He was a Super Bowl MVP for the Dallas Cowboys. He also started a multi-billion dollar commercial real estate company – the Staubach Company – which sold to Jones Lang LaSalle for $612 million in 2011.
One day, Jeffrey Gitomer walked into Roger Staubach’s office in Dallas without an appointment. He just walked in and asked to see Roger. As you might expect, the gatekeeper was not giving him access.
Then something remarkable happened. Roger heard Gitomer’s name from his office. He came racing down the hall and escorted Gitomer back to his office. Why on earth was Roger Staubach that interested in meeting with Jeffrey Gitomer? How could Gitomer succeed in just walking in and getting a meeting?
Jeffrey Gitomer wrote (maybe he still does) a syndicated column on sales that appeared in many newspapers at the time. Staubach was a fan. When Rodger the Dodger heard Gitomer’s name – he had to meet him.
