Skill + Do
MLK was a great salesperson. His passion and conviction defined his legacy; he is a model for sellers to study. You can have a great product, but without a reservoir of stamina, you’ll not succeed.
MLK entered college at 15, attending Morehouse College in 1944. He graduated in 1948 with a B.A. in Sociology at 19.
Interestingly, King earned a C- in public speaking while at Crozer Theological Seminary in Chester, PA. Despite that, MLK was elected student body president and graduated valedictorian of his class in 1951.
At the age of 25, King, Jr. was awarded his Ph.D. at Boston University.
The man worked hard in the classroom. But he worked harder on the streets.
In essence, King was a salesperson; he was selling his dream of an ideal society built on freedom for all. If he were alive today, he’d probably admit that his unrelenting passion and conviction for his cause was a fire that burned deep inside.
Passion and conviction! Those are wonderful ingredients for all who are committed to a worthy cause, whether social movements or business goals.
