About Elinor

Why did I, Elinor Stutz begin the company, Smooth Sale?

A vision came to me while at Stanford Hospital lying on a stretcher with a broken neck. I had one of those near-death experiences you read about but never happens to you. My life flashed in front of me in the form of a report card. On the left hand side, I had very high marks, but the left hand side was startling – it was blank and entitled Community Service!

I instantly recognized a need to begin giving back to communities at large. I vowed that if I were able to walk out of the hospital, I would begin doing just that. It was on that stretcher while waiting to be admitted, that I wrote my first business plan – to help others near and far understand how to take their natural talents and convert those into sales and grow business.

As CEO of Smooth Sale, LLC and Author, Elinor has through speaking, training, and private coaching, motivated and inspired audiences to their own success.

Men and Women alike exclaim her system is natural and easy to implement, and most importantly, greatly increased their revenue stream! She is viewed as an insightful business growth strategist.

Elinor’s book, “Nice Girls DO Get the Sale” was featured in TIME Magazine, translated into multiple languages and sells worldwide. Her second book, “HIRED! How to Sell Yourself on Interviews” was written to help those out of work secure their job of choice.

How did the name Smooth Sale come about?

As a teenager, Elinor’s daughter carefully listened to all of her mother’s field stories. She heard tales of difficulties in the sales offices, complications encountered with clients and corporate bureaucracy. Nonetheless, her daughter saw her Mom succeed in earning awards of every type including President’s Club. In her eyes, it was always a Smooth Sale for Mom!

“It is no use walking anywhere to preach, unless our walking is our preaching.”

When I think of Elinor Stutz this quote comes first and foremost to my mind. Elinor is an amazing example for me as I continue to grow and expand in my own business! Not only is she the perfect client, but also she is often one of those people that I feel that I should be paying instead of the other way around. Just reading her writing, getting the opportunity to listen to her trainings and speaking with her regularly has been such an incredible gift in my life. Many times in life, people teach one thing and practice another in their own lives. Elinor most definitely not only teaches but also walks her talk. If you are looking for someone to help guide you in your business to reach new heights and levels that you can only imagine in your mind then Elinor is my recommendation. She has all of the elements of success that I have found to be necessary in today’s unstable climate. She is Honest, She has Integrity, She is Committed 110% to herself and her own business and She clearly understands the importance of Collaboration and uplifting those that uplift others!
All my respect and Love,
