The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet

If [like me] you have less-than-perfect knees then you may have to ask a friend to do the kicking for you…wouldn’t want you to self-injure while you are self-starting.

The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet

This has been paraphrased. The original version, I believe translated from Greek around the time of Plato, was: “When a man desires to succeed at the noble profession of sales that man must wear out the soles of his sandals before he wears out the backside of his toga”.

Eckhart Tolle said something like that in one of his 'retreats'. People laughed. They laughed because they recognized that’s exactly what they do, at least from time to time. This Thought Tweet is another reminder - Listen Well!

Thought Tweet #999.9 Overheard at the Placebo Plant..."Listen up Boss, I've got this great new product idea."

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

How would one go about recruiting employees for a placebo plant? What traits and qualities would one look for? Would quality control be discussed? How about customer service and customer satisfaction?
