Sales Tweet #316

by Rick Baker
On Oct 3, 2011
Sales Tweet #316 The Boss is trying to figure out the best ways to kill ideas. www.spiritedsalestweets.ca
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
So far, The Boss has come up with 3 ways to kill ideas: 1) The angry ‘NO’…that always works, however, he doesn’t want to overuse it; 2) Death by Delay…he can send the work to a committee where the Chair is from some other department in the company…it doesn't matter who is Chair of the committee is as long as the Chair isn’t one of his people, and 3) Belittling the person who has the idea: that works real well with Don Trodden, but isn’t so effective with Ernest Seller. Do you have MORE IDEAS? If you have any the please email us so we can relay them to The Boss.

Sales Tweet #314

by Rick Baker

Sales Tweet #314 Then The Boss just snapped…“Don Trodden, this is the perfect time for you to become a missing person”.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
“When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.” Mark Twain said that. Obviously, Mark Twain never met a combination of characters like The Boss and Don Trodden. Don Trodden did not disappear and he wasn’t mad…just more fearful. The Boss was mad…or, at least, he remained angry. And, life around the office continued to defy explanation.

Sales Tweet #312

by Rick Baker
On Sep 27, 2011
Sales Tweet #312 Ernest was silent for a while. The Boss said, "He sure is taking a long time to make his pointless."
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
The New Guy, always ready and willing to help The Boss, chirped in…"Boss, I know a saying, which has helped me in times like this - To make a point, is to be blunt, which is pointless". Ernest didn’t want to debate any of this…he was busy thinking about next week’s fishing trip…and his faithful dog…half pointer, half something else. The Boss’ blood pressure jumped about 10 points and he stormed off…

Sales Tweet #311

by Rick Baker
On Sep 26, 2011
Sales Tweet #311 The Boss says to The New Guy, “I don't know what your problem is but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce”.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
“Better be careful what you wish for.” That’s another old saying, which The Boss should have thought about before he made that nasty comment. Just after The Boss said it, The New Guy rushed off to find a mirror. Then he came back and said, “You know boss, I am feeling a bit queasy. I didn’t notice it until just now. I better take the rest of the day off, visit my doctor…boy, I’m sure glad we have such a great medical plan”.

Sales Tweets #310

Sales Tweet #310 Ernest Seller wanted to check out that new fishing website but he couldn’t get it online.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
…so Ernest called the IT Department to let them know his computer was acting up. The IT Guy told Ernest to unplug the power cord and bring it right up so he could get it fixed before lunch. Ernest wasted no time…within 5 minutes he was standing in The IT Guy’s office with the power cord in his hand.

Sales Tweets #309

Sales Tweet #309 Hey Ernest, did you hear about the new restaurant called ‘The Moon’? It has great food but no atmosphere.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Ernest Seller: Yes, I went there last week. My buddy ordered salmon. He got a fishbone stuck in his throat. The waiter saw him and rushed over and asked, “Are you choking?” My buddy sputtered, “No….I’m…... serious.”
