The reality is that we all do some sales and marketing in our roles today - only not everyone is trained for it. It can be a tedious subject for those new to it.

The Mongrel Method is a series of stories about Samuel, the mongrel mutt, and his experiences in a vineyard dealing with customers. He interacts with everyone from a supermarket chain president looking for a long-term bulk contract to visitors on day trips looking for an experience and a single bottle of wine.

The sales analogies are entertaining and memorable — but can most importantly be immediately implemented at all levels.

The Mongrel Method is about a sales conversation, not a sales push. It appreciates that buyers today are already well into the sales cycle before even talking with a sales person - and that our job is all about enabling their decision.
