I met George Foreman in person when I was on American Inventor Reality TV on ABC a few years ago.

His radiant smile and positive energy is a simple reminder of why he is a great pitch man for mega hits such as the George Foreman grill.

Reportedly, George Foreman made more from selling the George Foreman Grill than he did in boxing.

{3 Reasons Why I would Hire George Foreman As a Pitch Man}

1:: Trust. Simply look at George. He looks like someone I would trust. His grill was not a new invention or anything extraordinary, but he repackaged the product. His energy shines through the television.

2:: Empathy. George Foreman has this gift which is simply related to having great people skills. I remember filming American Inventor and this little kid just got crushed by the words of the harsh judges. The kid came out of the door with tears flowing down his cheeks.

George Foreman made the extra effort to get off the judges table, walk to the waiting room, and comfort the little kid. One hug from George Foreman, the kid suddenly started to smile.

3:: Tenacity. George Foreman taught me to never give up. In his forties, he was still boxing. His NEVER GIVE UP + KEEP TRYING attitude are paramount characteristics of a true entrepreneur. Read Jab daily: don’t go for the Knock Out
