Sales Tweet #21 Ernest Seller gets no respect. When he asked for help with cold calls, his boss sent him to Greenland.

 

Ernest Seller has all kinds of sales education. He reads pretty much every piece of how-to-sell literature and he listens to all the CDs. However, when it comes to doing the sales work Ernest Seller makes an awful lot of mistakes. He is one of those guys that figure his boss owes him. So, Ernest has a bit of a habit of asking his boss for many things. His boss tries to help by developing Ernest rather than doing it for Ernest. That hardly ever works so, over time, it almost looks like Ernest's boss is out to get him. Quite often, communication between Ernest and his boss get 'off track'. This is an example.
