Sales Tweet #161

by Rick Baker
On Feb 28, 2011
Sales Tweet #161 Ernest Seller is a self-made man…so his arms are long enough to pat himself on the back.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
That is not to say Ernest doesn’t appreciate greatness in others. Just the other day he said he met a fellow with a terrific personality…Ernest noticed immediately this fellow had some of the amazing traits owned by Ernest himself.

Sales Tweet #160

Sales Tweet #160 Ernest Seller shoots the bull so his Boss will think he’s a hunter not a farmer.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Actually, that’s an effort a cracking a joke. Sales people are sometimes classed as hunters and farmers. Farmers have cattle. Hunters shoot things. Aw…never mind.

Sales Tweet #159 The Boss thinks Ernest Seller knows how to do one thing well - repeat mistakes.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
And, would you believe it…the Boss put that into one of Ernest’s performance reviews. When the Human Resource Department saw it they shook their heads.

Sales Tweet #157

Sales Tweet #157 Ernest Seller has a lot of big ideas...that's why his head often becomes swelled.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Here's an example of Ernest's thinking: the difference between antiques and junk depends on who is selling what to whom.

Sales Tweet #155

Sales Tweet #155 Ernest Seller is so experienced he knows how to make old sales mistakes in new ways.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
That’s the Boss talking out loud. He is working on the right words to compliment Ernest at their next weekly sales meeting. As mentioned in an earlier Sales Tweet, those management-training courses the company gave to Ernest’s Boss are really paying off.

Sales Tweet #154

by Rick Baker
On Feb 17, 2011
Sales Tweet #154 Ernest Seller isn’t the kind of guy who gossips about others...he talks about himself.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
As mentioned at Sales Tweet #151, Ernest has this tendency to spiral-talk. He gets off topic and he spirals around talking about himself. While this is a bit of a challenge for the people across the table from Ernest, every cloud has a silver lining. Ernest does not gossip about other people. He does not bad-mouth other people. He does not bad-mouth competition.
