Business Marketing Advertising

At a sales managers’ meeting the other day the speaker talked for half an hour about “lazy” salesmen.
He never knew a lazy salesman, because a real salesman is on his toes every minute.
He referred to the salesman who complained that his company tried to make a pack horse of him.
He never knew a real salesman who balked at carrying samples, because a real salesman knows that showing samples increases sales.
He berated the salesman who blamed his inability to get orders on the firm and its management.
He forgot that a real salesman is 100 per cent for the firm, for the management and for the buyers all the time.
He lamented the ease with which salesmen accept defeat.
He should have known that when a real salesman doesn’t get what he goes after, he generally knows where to get another order just as good.
He complained of the unrest among salesmen.
Real salesmen don’t complain ? they know that they write their own pay checks, and if the amount is not large enough, they make it larger.
He spoke of apologetic salesmen. Real salesmen don’t apologize for what they “can’t do” ? they are too busy trying.
