Business Marketing Advertising

A salesman was negotiating with one of the large companies here for a position. There had been several interviews. All that remained was to check up three references.
Two of the references were favorable. But the third pointed out that while he was a good salesman he seemed unable to work with others. In short, he was a “soloist.”
Because of this shortcoming, the man did not get the job. The sales manager knew that a man who can’t get along with others is sure to fail in the long run. Selling today calls for team players.
Look around. How many people of your acquaintance held important positions, but because they could not pull with others in the organization, have been replaced? How many people do you know today who are trying to pull the load alone, and are even now panting on the grade?

Ever thought of working from home? It is an excellent way to make some money with a flexible schedule.

Today, direct marketing companies are the number one choice for work-from-home business opportunities. The reason for their popularity is the start-up costs, which are often minimal and sometimes even non-existent. Direct Marketing companies, typically, do not require much experience when hiring employees. Most direct marketing companies will provide all the training that you need.

The biggest hit at one of the meetings of the Chemical Salesmen’s Association was a talk by Judge Barrett, general solicitor for the Lehigh Valley Railroad. In his talk, the judge gave salesmen the result of his long experience persuading juries to do what he desires them to do.
Judge Barrett made the point that there is much in common between the work of a lawyer and the task that daily confronts you in making people buy what you are selling. “There are two major elements to be considered,” said the judge. “The most patent of these is self-interest, the importance of which, I am sure, every good salesman thoroughly appreciates. The second and most interesting element, however, is not so generally appreciated. It is mental laziness.
“The appeal to mental laziness is usually adopted and used in influencing men by those who are above the ordinary in intellectual life. For instance: a good lawyer in the argument of the case attempts to think for the judge. He writes his brief so clearly that the judge will not have to think. He argues his case so skillfully that the judge’s mind will follow his to its conclusions.
“One of the gravest mistakes a salesman or a lawyer can make is to expect the other fellow to do any thinking. He must never lose sight of the fact that the great portion of mankind absolutely refuses to think. Even the most intelligent men, and men who are deep thinkers along lines which interest them, find it repulsive to think about remote problems.”
Your problem, as a salesman, is: “How can I overcome the disinclination, of those I am selling, to think?” Judge Barrett makes a suggestion. He reminds us that when people wanted to approach President Roosevelt, in order to secure a hearing on some particular subject, they found the latest book the President was interested in, the latest discussion which was engrossing his attention, and used these as points of contact.
