Listen "How to Succeed at Selling Dead Peoples Things"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we sit down with Duane Cerny, the author of Dead People's Things, to discuss the sales lessons from selling vintage furniture and clothing. Dwayne explains how he decided to switch career paths from a lawyer to a business selling mid-century modern furniture when he was around the age of 30. He had been doing other businesses that had been successful, and he remembered fondly his childhood spent in his mother's basement, surrounded by furniture from the 1950s. He was able to live on just $1,000 a month and put any money he made back into the business. 32 years later, he owns the largest multi-dealer antique store in Chicago.
