Not a bad analogy. While it is a joy to watch those little players do that in sports games it is nowhere near as enjoyable watching sales people do it. Just ask a sales manager.

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”.

The worst that can happen is you may be left out there hanging once in a while. If that happens…do some chin-ups. No point wasting a good opportunity!
