Penne Main: Bigfoot Hunter

O.K., so maybe it’s not her prime reason for mountain climbing, although.  Not a day goes by without someone asking me if I’ve heard from Penne Main.  After all, she only knows 20-thousand people on a first name basis and that’s a conservative estimate.

Penne was a well-known radio and TV broadcaster in the Magic Valley for a number of years.   Then she moved into broadcast sales and was highly successful.  Trust me, she’s a Type A personality.  As I understand, it was a family trait.  Several months ago, Penne received an offer she couldn’t refuse.  She’s now with the Chamber of Commerce in the Mini-Cassia area.

It takes some special skills to sell broadcast advertising.  Those play well in any business setting.  Being able to talk into a microphone in a small room with sound proofing on the walls is easy.  You aren’t coming face-to-face with the people you’re trying to convince to listen every day.

The real challenge is to walk up to someone and sell air-time or a membership in a Chamber of Commerce.  Some of us can do one of these things.  Penne can do both.  It’s an ability to convey I’ve got a product and it can benefit you.  You have to be confidant in yourself and especially in what you’re selling.

And knowing Penne, if she does encounter Sasquatch, within 15 minutes he’ll have signed a contract and be paid up for a year.  It’s about time he did what she’s doing.  Putting celebrity status to good use.
