Sales Tweet #253

by Rick Baker
On Jul 6, 2011
Sales Tweet #253 When asked why he was so late for work Ernest Seller answered, “I couldn’t find my new white shoes”.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Ernest is a real honest guy. Even if The Boss didn’t know that he wouldn’t second-guess an explanation like that. But, that doesn’t do anything to ease The Boss’ anxiety about a 21st Century sales guy who loves white shoes. Why, it’s almost cliché! Why, you just can’t make stuff like that up!

Sales Tweet #252

Sales Tweet #252 Miss Tayken, The Boss’ secretary believes in punctuality…she fixes commas and other squiggly things.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
When Miss Tayken was first hired The Boss asked if she could type. She said, “No but my sister can”. She has come a long way. And, she is fond of Ernest so she tries to help him out. The operative word there is ‘tries’.

Sales Tweet #251 Loose cannons miss their targets.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
When your cannon parts become loose you must tighten up a few things. You will want to make sure your cannon is secure in its moorings. You want to make sure the measuring mechanisms work properly and won’t slip up when you fire your shots. The same things apply to ‘loose sales operations’.

Sales Tweet #250

Sales Tweet #250 Ernest likes the motto… ‘No one ever injured his eyesight by looking on the bright side of things’.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Yup, Ernest Seller is an upbeat guy. And, he likes sayings like this one. Also, he believes in the Napoleon Hill classic, ‘Winners Never Quit and Quitters Never Win’. For the most part, Ernest is oblivious to the petty things others may dwell on. He is a happy fellow. Ernest enjoys each day. While others, like The Boss and Mr. Kaye, try to cause him stress Ernest marches on…to the beat of his own drummer.

Sales Tweet #249

Sales Tweet #249 Heavy winds damaged trees and left twigs all over Ernest’s yard. Today, he’s calling the branch manager.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Now, wasn’t that a nasty trick Ernest Seller’s neighbour played on him? Telling him to call City Hall and ask for the branch manager.

Sales Tweet #248

by Rick Baker
On Jun 29, 2011
Sales Tweet #248 Here’s one difference between Ernest Seller and The Boss. Ernest is slow. The Boss is thorough.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
At least, that’s the way The Boss sees it. And, The Boss is a big believer in the Golden Rule: he who carries the gold makes the rules! Ernest has a different way of looking at these sorts of things. He doesn’t spend much time thinking about The Boss [one way or the other]. He doesn’t mind The Boss calling him ‘slow’. After all, the turtle beat the rabbit in that race. And, rabbits aren’t lucky…it seems to Ernest…only their feet are lucky.
