Sales Tweet #94 Ernest Seller is concentrating on turkey and football today. Tomorrow he will have stories about both.

 

Ernest loves Thanksgiving so much he celebrates both the Canadian and the U.S. holidays. Tomorrow he will make sure he shares lots of turkey and football stories with anyone he believes is listening. And, Ernest doesn’t audit that listening real well. [Unless they are running away at full speed there's still a good chance they are listening.]

Sales Tweet #93 Apes and monkeys solve problems for the fun of it. If they enjoy solving problems then so can we.

 

Of course, I can not prove this from first-hand experience…although; I have always been very fond of monkeys.

The point: problem solving is a key to small things and things as big as civilization. We might as well approach it as enthusiastically as the other primates.

Let’s not forget the tough time Charlton Heston had to go through in those Planet of the Apes movies.

And relax - we human beings have a leg up on the lower primates.

We have P=2S+O!

Sales Tweet #92 Are you still trying to close that sale? Is your Persistence based on accurate thinking or denial?

 

When does persistence become the wrong thing to do?

There are differing views: we discussed this at the Thought Post called ‘The Eighth Step Toward Riches or The First Mental Trap’

 When should the sales person draw the line…pull the plug?

Ideally, this should happen when two things align:

1. Your gut feel tells you ‘It is over.’
2. Your accurate thinking tells you ‘It is over.’

That’s much easier said than done.

But, like all other aspects of sales…it is a talent that can be learned & honed.
