Sales Tweet #133 A sales person should be proud of his/her calling…and ashamed of his/her not calling.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
The thing to try when all else fails is again. Give it a try - not an alibi.

Sales Tweet #132 "Great geniuses have the shortest biographies." Ralph Waldo Emerson
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Reading thoughts like this one from the great Emerson remind us:
  • Don’t blow your own horn too loudly or for too long
  • Don’t badmouth other people

Sales Tweet #131

Sales Tweet #131 Ernest Seller has 3 sales traits: a big smile, shiny shoes, & a lousy sales territory.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
The big smile: that’s Ernest's best quality. Ernest is a naturally-happy fellow. Some call him indomitable. But, most use other words to describe Ernest. Shiny shoes: Ernest loves shoes, especially white shoes…an important part of his sales wardrobe. Ernest also likes two-tone shoes. However, he doesn't think they send as strong a sales-success signal as white shoes.

Sales Tweet #130

Sales Tweet #130 The last time Ernest asked for help with cold calls his Boss called him and sneezed.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Well that sure wasn’t sanitary…and what about the Boss almost choking from laughter. On the other hand, as the Boss says, if you can laugh at it then you can live with it.

Sales Tweet #129

Sales Tweet #129 Go out on a limb. That’s a good way to find some fruit.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
The worst that can happen is you may be out there hanging once in a while. If that happens…do some chin-ups. No point wasting a good opportunity!

Sales Tweet #128

by Rick Baker
On Jan 12, 2011
Sales Tweet #128 Our salesman Ernest Seller knows how to say nothing. Unfortunately, he says that a lot.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
If silence is golden then Ernest will never be accused of hoarding. The Boss believes, if Ernest could think more before he speaks then he will not speak so much. And, whether golden or not, some silence from Ernest will have a huge impact on Ernest's Blunder Factor.
