Sales Tweet #61

by Rick Baker
On Oct 11, 2010
Sales Tweet #61 Buyers tell Ernest Seller they have no money. He's thinking of lending them some to close more sales.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Don't worry. Ernest didn't do it. Actually, his wife wouldn't give him any money so he couldn’t do it. As mentioned before, Ernest is a natural born sales man. He wasn’t cut out for numbers or finance or other stuff like that.

Sales Tweet #60

Sales Tweet #60 You can state all the things you must do to get the success you desire in 4 words - Change For The Better.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
For example, if we look at this week's Sales Tweets: #56 - Ernest could make a change for the better if he actually set aside 2 hours and completed the profile of his Ideal Client, #57 - a sales person could make a change for the better if she set aside one hour and started creating a list of Client-questions that could be tested for their emotion-touching value, #58 - Ernest could make a change for the better if he tried to understand the reason behind his Client's anger rather than ignoring it, and #59 - a sales person could make a change for the better by setting a C-level connection target and a draft-plan for achieving that target.

Sales Tweet #58

by Rick Baker
On Oct 6, 2010
Sales Tweet #58 A Client yelled at Ernest Seller yesterday and Ernest said "If I wanted this abuse I could stay home".
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Ernest's wife doesn't actually yell at him. His wife is a saint. [Some say she must be to tolerate him…but, that's more like a huge blog or a book than a Sales Tweet.] Anyhow, Ernest does get yelled at by Clients and other people during his work day. And, he likes to respond as he did here. Every once in a while this effort at humour causes the Client to laugh as the Client walks Ernest to the door...

Sales Tweet #56

by Rick Baker
On Oct 4, 2010
Sales Tweet #56 Ernest Seller plans to play FBI today…he's going to try to profile his "Ideal Client".
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
But, and this might not be a major surprise, Ernest won't actually create a profile of his "Ideal Client" today. One of his kids has a dentist appointment in the morning. Ernest and his dear wife will be visiting the nice fellow who teaches 'The Boy' later [what time was that teacher thing again?]. And, Ernest always gets his hair cut on the first Monday of the month [can't let the barber shop crowd down again]. And, wasn't he supposed to visit the bank? And didn't the wife want him to pick up some [what was that?] on the way home...

Sales Tweet #54

Sales Tweet #54 Ernest Seller wonders what he can learn from the things his best Clients keep in their offices.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
OK, that thought spent about a nanosecond in Ernest's mind. Then it was immediately replaced by a thought about the Pittsburg Steelers, Ernest's favourite NFL team. Then that [troubling] thought was replaced by a thought about spaghetti - were he and his wife heading out for spaghetti tonight? The spaghetti thought was replaced by a thought about Fluffy, the little dog who helped Ernest run his childhood lemonade stand [see Sales Tweet #15]. Yes Ernest's mind works like lightning...it sets a lot of fires and nobody can figure out what causes it.

Sales Tweet #51

by Rick Baker
On Sep 27, 2010
Sales Tweet #51 Ernest Seller's horoscope says he will interrupt buyers again, again, and again today.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Ernest has lots of important stuff on his mind. He has an exciting life, the best family, the best set of friends, the best job in the world, the best product in the universe, etc. He never runs out of important stuff to talk about.
