Sales Tweet #296 "If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there’d be a shortage of fishing poles".
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Ernest Seller loves that Doug Larson quote. When Ernest was young he considered being a fisherman. I mean…he thought about being a career fisherman. After checking it out he thought he might have trouble living off the net income.

Sales Tweets #295

Sales Tweet #295 When The Boss was a young man he lifted weights. Now, he just raises his eyebrows.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Ernest Seller alone helps The Boss burn off a few hundred calories per workday….and that’s just the eyebrow workout. That doesn’t count the calories burned when The Boss chases him out of the office or the deep lung workout The Boss gets when he is really steamed at Ernest.

Sales Tweet #294 "If you want to kill any idea in the world today, get a committee working on it." Charles F. Kettering
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
The Boss loved this advice so much he immediately set up a committee for the sales department…Ernest Seller’s list of ideas became their one-and-only project.

Sales Tweets #292

On Aug 30, 2011
Sales Tweet #292 The Boss told his sales people, "I don’t want yes-men around here. You all agree with that...right!"
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
The Boss is honing his people skills. He knows it is important to present a picture of a leader who is open-minded. He heard that somewhere. So, The Boss decided to start off each sales meeting with a little pep talk.
