a conversation with the sales god

......this is not about religion.....

.....Yeah....Finding things a little tough.........

......and they just keep getting bigger.....

....unless I’m the cheapest.... just can’t keep discounting.....

......get back to me after the next sales call......

.....people don’t want to be sold........

.....easy to say.....everyone’s saying that.....

......I think I’ve gone soft.....

So how do you ‘sell’ without ‘selling’?

.....I’m sold on me already....I’m a nice person....

......about what?.....

....you’re getting a bit heavy.....

....you mean physically and emotionally?.......

.....you mean my sales and marketing activities ?....

.....you mean the stuff I do but don’t really think about?

.....so what are you saying?

.....it can’t be that simple.....

.....what does that mean?

.....to tune into what I’m really saying to myself about things?

......now you’re just trying to confuse me.

......If I said that I wait for the next sales conference that wouldn’t be the right

answer....

So what are you suggesting........

.....so you’re going to put my success firmly on my shoulders then are you?

.....I can feel a sermon coming on......

......cute.....so what’s the answer?

......so it really is up to me......I’m not sure I like this.....

.....O.K.......so give me one piece of advice that can change my success

......good.....I’m pretty good company......

......and what do I do with this meeting with myself.....please don’t tell me to pray for

success.....

.....so spend an hour a week....hmm....not sure my manager will agree to this.....

......you can tell them that.....

......O.K.....I’m in.....where do I start?
