Sales Tweet #200

by Rick Baker
On Apr 22, 2011
Sales Tweet #200 The other day favourite client Mr. Kaye asked Ernest Seller, “If I throw a stick, will you leave?”
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
That Mr. Kaye is always making wise cracks at Ernest. But, deep down, Mr. Kaye knows he can not teach an old dog new tricks. For example, Ernest thought the ‘chasing stick’ comment was funny. So he responded by asking Mr. Kaye, “What did the dog get when he multiplied 4 by 7?” Mr. Kaye said, “I don’t know, what did the dog get when he multiplied 4 by 7?” Ernest replied, “The wrong answer”.

The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
When Ernest was a tiny boy in pre-school his teacher Miss Bella asked him, in a very calm and soft voice, “Ernie, what’s the outside of a tree called”. Ernest replied, “I don’t know Miss Bella…will you tell me?” Miss Bella, again in her calm and soft voice said, “Bark, Ernie, bark”. Ernest replied, “Bow wow, bow wow”. Ernest was very fond of Miss Bella…he still loves trees.

The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Last week, at Sales Tweet #195 we introduced Miss Rechnen, Ernest Seller’s Grade 5 math teacher. Here is a little story…After his 1st term with Miss Rechnen, Ernest brought home a report card. It contained some low marks and some comments about his being a bit of a troublemaker in class. Ernest was blessed with natural sales talent. When he brought that report card home he asked his Dad if he could write in the dark. His Dad said, “Yes son, I think I could do that…what would you like me to write?” Ernest replied, “Your name on this report card.”

The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Yes – young Ernest Seller had a problem with math problems. So, he asked his teacher for help. It went like this….Ernest: “Miss Rechnen, I don’t know how to solve this problem”. His teacher, Miss Rechnen, was very stressed out that day [as was rather common] and without thinking she said, “Ernest, any eight year old can answer that question”. And, Ernest replied, “Oh, no wonder I can't do it…I am almost eleven.”

The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
For years Ernest refused to get into those coffee drive thru lines: he was afraid he would get mugged.

Sales Tweet #190 Ernest Seller doesn’t like to buy self-help literature…it all started when…
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
When he was a young man, Ernest Seller kept hearing all the buzz about self-help literature. So he went to a bookstore and asked the fellow at the desk, "Where's the self-help section?" The fellow replied, “If I told you then it would defeat the purpose”. Ernest concluded self-help literature is an oxymoron.
