Sales Tweet #8 Today. Measure meeting talk. Talk no more than 30%, Listen at least 70%…especially, when trying to sell.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
David Sandler taught this to his sales students. It applies not just to sales but to all conversation. Limiting the amount we talk is closely linked to Listening. It is also closely linked to our ability to keep our emotions in balance.

Sales Tweet #6 Try a low-negative-thought diet. Grab your next 3 worries & refuse to let your mind chew on them anymore.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Napoleon Hill and many others to follow have taught us the value of keeping our mind free of negative thoughts. FYI: Dr. Daniel Amen provides some very useful techniques that he has provided to help his patients. He talks about getting rid of your ANTs...Automatic Negative Thoughts. All of us have them. Few of us have proven techniques for minimizing them.

Sales Tweet #5

by Rick Baker
On Jul 23, 2010
Sales Tweet #5 Who helped or inspired you the most this week? Pick 2 of these people and mail to them hand-written thank you notes...today.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Many people help us and they know they helped us. Some people help us and they do not realize they helped us or they do not realize how much they helped us. Regardless, hand-written thank you notes - sincere hand-written thank you notes - can deliver a nice little pat on the back. And - who can't use a pat on the back!

The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Jeffrey Gitomer provides some great ideas in this area. For example, he talks about setting up 4-person lunch meetings where your Client brings a referral for you and you bring a referral for your Client. That is, you bring a Client for your Client.

To maximize our success we need to focus on our Strengths. Similarly, when we determine what makes our best Clients stand out as best Clients we have an opportunity to template or profile our Ideal Client…to avoid the trap of commodity-like competition target marketing is an essential.
