Sales Tweet #24 Mars is just about aligned for a too-much-talking day. Ernest Seller is planning to bite his tongue.
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet:
Talking and listening are closely linked yet separate things. It is really difficult to do both at once. We all know that yet what we know and what we do are often conflicted. So, recognizing almost everyone thinks sales people should be better listeners it naturally follows that sales people should talk less. Ernest Seller talks way too much. He is the sort of person who needs graphic reminders to help him keep himself in line. So, to stop talking he bites his tongue...literally. He has found his slightly injured tongue doesn't talk much for about 30 minutes.
