Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for the greatest innovation in the history of the world wide web.
 

Which line would you prefer to stand in to seek blessings from  the Master?

1)     standard indirect service   2) premium direct service

A multitude of different voices drawing attention seems to be disconnected information; All these were different experiences i had relating to either sale of ideas. Opinions or commodities

There once was a pen salesman who had two types of pens. One was a very nice but basic model and the other was a fancier, more expensive, high-end model.

He wasn’t selling enough of the high-end model. This was troubling because the margin on his high-end pen was … higher.

People seemed to like the high-end model but, on par, most wound up buying the basic model instead

So what did the pen salesman do?

He decided to create a new premium pen. It would be even fancier and more expensive than his high-end pen.

When presented with three choices (good, better and best), the middle pen suddenly became far more attractive and looked like a better value.

 Had the pen changed? No.

But the context in which it was presented did, and that made the difference

The pen salesman could have tried different colors (of pen or ink), or a different pitch, or added features or cut prices or offered a gift box with purchase or any number of other typical marketing techniques to help increase sales of his high-end pen. But it’s unlikely any of them would have achieved the monumental shift in sales he saw by introducing that premium pen.

Many years ago two salesmen were sent by a British shoe manufacturer to Africa to investigate and report back on market potential.

The first salesman reported back, "There is no potential here - nobody wears shoes."

The second salesman reported back, "There is massive potential here - nobody wears shoes."

This simple short story provides one of the best examples of how a single situation may be viewed in two quite different ways - negatively or positively.

We could explain this also in terms of seeing a situation's problems and disadvantages, instead of its opportunities and benefits.

  few years ago, the University of Houston did a study of salesmen

They looked at thousands of people who had been working in sales for 3 years or longer and they found that these salespeople could be divided into 3 different psychological profiles.

(1)   Engager -- meets and greets well, seems to have no fear but has has follow-up reluctance

2) Assurer -- knows all the details, can’t take rejection

3) Compeller – competitive, often closes the deal

 If a man can build a better book, preach a better sermon, or make a better mousetrap than his neighbor, though he builds his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door.

Strange as it may seem, our life is made up of a series of “sales presentations”. Be it a pitch for, making presentations every day, selling an idea to your spouse, or just trying to win others over to your point of view


Day by day, what you do is who you become, You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face...You must do the thing you think you cannot do

Life is a Salesperson job, so let us all

Exit the comfort zone” and “Think big, start small“.
