Sales Tweet #313

Sales Tweet #313 We’d rather hear less-than-perfect decisions than questions, which absolutely delay Buyer’s decisions.

Consider that Rule of Thumb before you ask your Sales Manager your next question.

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

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 Tweet #310 Ernest Seller wanted to check out that new fishing website but he couldn’t get it online.

…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 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.”

Sales Tweets #308

On Sep 21, 2011
Sales Tweet #308 There are only 2 types of people who achieve Sales excellence.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
There are only 2 types of people who succeed:
  1. Those few, who somehow naturally 'get it' and seek their way to success.
  2. Those few who attend to other people who try to help them 'get it', emulate them, embrace their ideas, and sooner or later 'get it' themselves.
