Sales Tweet #307 “If you haven't struck oil in the first three minutes, stop boring!” George Jessel
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Speaking of boring….did you hear the one about the termite who strolled into a pub, walked up to the counter, and asked “Is the bar tender here?”

Sales Tweets #306

Sales Tweet #306 Then, Mr. Kaye says to Ernest Seller, “Remember, your relatives had no choice in the matter either”.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Speaking of relatives….Ernest Seller’s aunt got a new, full-length fur coat. When his cousin saw the coat she said, “Mom, how can you wear it…knowing a helpless animal had to suffer in order for you to get a coat?” His aunt replied, “Don’t talk about your father that way.”

Sales Tweets #305

Sales Tweet #305 Many years ago, Ernest Seller dated a fortune teller…they went to a fancy dance called the crystal ball.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Ernest really enjoyed himself at the dance. About 10 o’clock he whispered in the fortune teller’s ear, “You know…I could dance like this all night”. She stepped back…a little puzzled…and said, “Why wouldn’t you want to improve?” [You’d almost think she saw it coming.]

Sales Tweets #304

Sales Tweet #304 The Boss & Ernest were on an elevator. The Boss smiled and said, I think I'm coming down with something!
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
I guess that’s an inside joke. Ernest Seller doesn’t care much for inside jokes. He likes outside jokes. He especially likes fishing jokes. Like: A trout and a salmon are at the market and the trout says, “I hear smoking is bad for your health”. The salmon replies, “Don’t worry…I’ve been cured”.

Sales Tweets #303

Sales Tweet #303 Self-starters embrace ownership of task.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Self-starters embrace delegation and accountability. Self-starters go the extra mile, providing unexpected work for the employer. Self-starters micro-manage themselves.

Sales Tweets #302

Sales Tweet #302 The Boss says his sales guys have minds like concrete... sand, pebbles, and stones…all mixed up.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
When it comes to his opinion of the sales guys, it seems The Boss’ mind is permanently set. He doesn’t mean the sales guys are hard-headed…just block-headed. The Boss reinforces his point with a question - what can we be expected to construct with such building blocks?
