Sales Tweet #301 Mr. Kaye, “Ernest, I’d tell you the joke about the unstamped letter but I know you wouldn’t get it”.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
So Ernest Seller responds, “Don’t bother…I will tell you a mailman joke…it goes like this: A mailman is bitten by a dog. He goes back to the post office. He tells his boss a dog bit his leg. His boss asks, “Did you put anything on it?” The mailman says, “No boss - I hurt too much to chase it!”

Sales Tweet #300 Mr. Kaye said Ernest Seller understands the basic facts; he just comes to the wrong confusions.

You remember Ernest's #1 client, Mr. Kaye…and you remember Mr. Kaye tries to take advantage of our friend Ernest…here's another example...Mr. Kaye keeps a list of questions in his desk and springs them on Ernest when he thinks Ernest is about to ask for the order. Here's the sort of question he asks: "Now Ernest...My butcher is five foot ten. What does he weigh?"

Sales Tweets #298

Sales Tweet 298 CHEAP people cannot sell!
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
If you know someone who audits and edits their restaurant ‘checks’ then know too that person can’t sell. If you know someone who shops around, say 3 stores, to buy an electrical appliance then know too that person can’t sell. If you know someone who always shops when stores have their sales then know too that person can’t sell. You know the person who either forgets his/her wallet or is always the last one to reach for it when it is time to buy the next round of beer? Yup, that person can’t sell too. The examples are endless: cheap people can’t sell. [They can barely handle buying.]

Sales Tweet #297 The Boss figures The New Guy’s favourite exercise must be jumping to conclusions.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
…and The New Guy must be one of the most flexible people in the world….before jumping to conclusions he warms up by putting his foot in his mouth.

Sales Tweet #296 "If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there’d be a shortage of fishing poles".
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Ernest Seller loves that Doug Larson quote. When Ernest was young he considered being a fisherman. I mean…he thought about being a career fisherman. After checking it out he thought he might have trouble living off the net income.
