the Southwestern Company Sales Blog
For those of you in the blogosphere who’ve sold books with Southwestern, let me throw out this link to Dustin Hillis’ sales blog. Check it out. In it, he embeds a short classic clip of our most famous motivator and orator, Mort Utley.
If you need a little lift today–or, if you’re wading through some challenges in your sales career or personal life, this is for you. Click the link above and enjoy!


I heard Mort Uley give a speech @ Harding University when I was a student in the late 1970′s. I think it was titled “Jesus the Man!” If anyone has a transcript or auditory copy or cd that I can get this please let me know. It was the most inspiring speech I’ve ever heard Mort Utley give in my five summers I sold books with the SW book company. Thank you for your prompt response.

Ron: As one of the keepers of the A/V archives at SW, I can say with confidence (and regret) that we don’t have a copy of this. I’ll ask around and call you with any results, but…. You may also want to post an inquiry on our SW alumni community website to see if anyone happens to have this, Ron. The website is http://www.wesoldbooks.com.
Thanks for tuning in!
