About David Stokes

My working, and personal career has been about service, not servility.Sales is about helping people see their needs clearly, assisting them to the fulfilment of those needs - and hopefully their needs and your product become a happy marriage.Since rising to managing local government services to people and communities, I have discovered that all careers are about serving your fellows in one way or another. One can take the selfish view that it is about status, money and the flash car but if one doesn't offer good service, regardless of what field you are in, these things do not come your way and life becomes totally unsatisfyingService is the key to personal and career happiness.
