Sales Tweet #145

Sales Tweet #145 When climbing to Success: Take your hands out of your pockets & Take one step at a time.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Get busy and make progress one step at a time. Many years ago, one of my university professors gave me advice along these lines. When a big problem overwhelms you, take it on one little piece at a time. Success does not happen in leaps like the leaps in that Snakes & Ladders game…Success happens in a series of smaller steps.

Sales Tweet #144

Sales Tweet #144 From time to time Ernest Seller takes great pains - and gives them to others.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Ernest does not mean to be a pain in the body parts of his Clients, his Boss, or his coworkers. It just happens. It is fair to say Ernest Seller can be inept. Maybe it would be more accurate to say Ernest gets carried away. On the other hand…if we asked the Boss then the Boss would tell us he wishes Ernest would get carried away.

Sales Tweet #143 People can learn from their mistakes. Wow - Ernest Seller sure has a master teacher.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Yes. It is true. Ernest Seller makes a lot of mistakes. There’s good news and bad news. The good news is mistakes provide learning opportunities. The bad news is those learning opportunities do not happen until the mistakes are recognized as mistakes. Oblivious is bliss.

The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
This is a rewording of an old saying. A penchant for action is a good thing. A habit of persistence is another good thing. Put 'em together…what a powerful combination!

Sales Tweet #141

Sales Tweet #141 Ernest Seller has been working like a horse...but only when his Boss rides him.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Ernest Seller is not a lazy guy. So, whoever said that ‘but only when his boss rides him’ was exaggerating. Ernest works hard. I mean, when he remembers he is supposed to be working he works hard. While of course I don’t want to be judgmental, the problem is working hard often doesn’t yield as many good results as working smart.

Sales Tweet #140 Two Keys to Success: Don’t let down & Don’t let up.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Napoleon Hill wrote “Winners never quit and quitters never win”. He also wrote about not just meeting commitments but rendering more service than is owed.
