Thought Tweet #343

by Rick Baker
On Nov 9, 2011
Thought Tweet #343 Know Nature’s laws, use those laws, and obtain the help of other people. Time, thinking…then wisdom.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
This is my interpretation of a piece of Napoleon Hill’s message. He defined wisdom in terms of Nature’s laws and the co-operation and harmony of people, as they use Nature’s laws to create things of value. At least, that’s how I understand Napoleon Hill’s teachings.

Thought Tweet #342

Thought Tweet #342 Don’t keep guessing why results didn’t happen: define and measure the Conversion of Actions.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
More often than not people ignore the need to measure the conversions that link actions to results. One of my friends uses a PIE approach. PIE: Plan, Implement, and Evaluate. His PIE approach allows him to make adjustments and achieve goals.

Sales Tweet #340 People lie. Don't take it personally... they're only human.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Everyone lies. Some people lie a lot. Some people only lie a bit. Some people tell whopping lies. Some people are pathological liars. Most people tend to judge others harshly when others lie while they tend to forgive themselves when they lie.

Sales Tweet #339

by Rick Baker
On Nov 3, 2011
Sales Tweet #339 Today. Talk no more than 30% of the time and listen at least 70% of the time.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
This applies not just to sales but to all conversation. People will tend to like you more if you are skilled at listening. If you struggle with listening the work at self-monitoring. A small percentage of people are born with the character trait known as self-monitoring. If you want to succeed in business and you were not born with this character trait then you have to learn it.

Everything people do can be classed as a Good Habit, a Bad Habit, or a New Thing. Mostly, people do Good Habits and do Bad Habits. From time to time they do New Things. Doing New Things is a major key to making changes…and developing Good Habits. Doing New Things is the major key to success.
