Solution
Results
"Do or do not. There is no try". - Yoda/Star Wars. A fictional charactor brings simplicity to acheivement. Alex is often asked, "How did you do that?" He never lets himself off the hook by merely "trying". It's about results. Never take "NO" for an answer. Find a way. Making deals and coaching soccer sharpens Alex's ability to acheive the needed results.
Posturing & Planning
"The battle is won before it is ever fought". -Sun Tzu. Alex is not the stereotype fast talking back slapping negotiator. He watches and calculates before he acts. As stated to a Journalism class by the advisor during a speech introduction, "Nobody reads a room better than ALEX SAMS".
Creativity is critical
Creativity is a must. Finding what works for the client while fulfilling the other party's needs is the only way to make a deal work. Creative thinking is the way Alex has closed many miracles for his clients.
