Sales Tweet #269 Ernest Seller took his dear old Dad to an antique auction. Five elderly ladies bid on him.
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
OK. That’s a bit of an exaggeration. Maybe it was only 3 of 4 elderly ladies. But, that’s not the point. The point is Ernest is a chip off the old block. In fact, that’s true figuratively and literally. His dear old Dad’s given name is Block. Block Seller…now there’s a guy who could sell. Why, he could sell ice cubes to Eskimos...he could sell Lego to Civil Engineers...or bricks to a lumber yard. That's Ernest's dad, Block Seller. And, good looking? You bet! And - a sharp dresser to boot. Block Seller wore plaid jackets, paisley ties and white shoes long before they were haute fashion for the sales elite. So, let’s not be too harsh on those elderly ladies.
