Legend Dies. Billy Mays R.I.P
June 28th 2009 18:31
This afternoon I was sitting here debating what product or service to put on the site when I happened to check my news alerts and see that Legendary Pitchman Billy Mays had passed away this morning in his home in Tampa. With the recent run of celebrity passing's, Ed Macmahon, David Carridine, Farrah Fawcett, and of Course Michael Jackson, none of those has hit so close to home, For me, as this one.
Maybe its because for years I've always admired the way certain folks could sell ice cubes to Eskimos, or how they could make you believe in a product and help you find the value of something you didn't know you even needed, That I believe is the essence of what Billy Mays did. And he did it in such in entertaining way. He was passionate about everything he did and you knew just from listening and watching him work.
So I think i can speak for a majority of us when I say this. From all us sales guys. To the Mays family our deepest condolences, you will be in our thoughts and prayers. Rest In Peace Billy you will be missed.
