Sales Tweet #259

by Rick Baker
On Jul 14, 2011
Sales Tweet #259 A cold-called prospect asked Ernest about his position. Ernest replied, “I am sitting at my desk”.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Of course, this prospect wasn’t anywhere close to an ideal client. Ernest says, “Sales people gotta be vigilant. Sales people keep your eyes and ears open for prospects that ask these sorts of silly questions!”

Sales Tweet #258

Sales Tweet #258 Don’t just get by, get more.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
That’s an appeal to those among us who are unmotivated. None of us is destined to just get by. Regardless of the difficulty we face we can do more than get by. As Napoleon Hill said – at the very least we can adjust the way we feel about and our reactions to the situation.

Sales Tweet #256

Sales Tweet #256 The New Guy knows his preferred type of supervision…you can't do better that Superman's X-ray vision!
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Who is this New Guy? Well, he is the New Guy at Ernest Seller’s office. What does he do? Well, they are still trying to sort that out. Initially, The Boss had high hopes the New Guy could take Ernest’s role if Ernest finally read the writing on the wall or at least that sign above the door that screams out ‘EXIT’. But, that’s was then and this is now. Now The Boss is thinking Ernest must be near-sighted or something and maybe that’s not all bad. This New Guy isn’t quite living up to 37% of expectations.

Sales Tweet #255

by Rick Baker
On Jul 8, 2011
Sales Tweet #255 Ernest Seller had another one of those weird dreams last night.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
The Dream: Ernest, his co-worker Don Trodden & The Boss received a special-delivery notice. The 3 of them had to visit to show identification so they could get the package. When they opened the package it contained a lamp. They rubbed it. A genie appeared and granted each of them a one wish. Ernest wished first…he wished he could be fishing with his buddies. Poof – he disappeared. Don Trodden wished next. To The Boss’ surprise he wished he could travel back in time to be a sultan in a Turkish harem. Poof – he was gone. The Boss then had his wish. He wished Ernest and Don would be back to work in 3 minutes.

Sales Tweet #254

by Rick Baker
On Jul 7, 2011
Sales Tweet #254 Don Trodden: “Boss, why did you take an instant dislike to me?" The Boss: “To save time”.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
We haven’t heard much about Ernest’s co-worker Don Trodden. I guess it’s one of the ‘out of sight – out of mind’ things. Speaking about out-of-mind things…often Don Trodden feels like he is out of his mind. He asks himself,“Why else would I continue to work for The Boss?” And, as we shall see that’s a darned-good question.
