		<description><![CDATA[Time to give thanks for being a sales guy.

Well it’s that time of year again and with the economy the way it is, it’s been that time of year — all year.

I am Mel
Oh now how I love to sell
What I do not like is to call cold
It makes me seem much too bold
No one likes me
I’ve been told
No one, no one wants to be sold
I’ve tried calling, email , letter

Will you meet me in the warm or cold?
No, [...]]]></description>

One of the great things about the fair, besides the fried Twinkies and other 1,200 calorie per bite culinary treats, are the guys that hawk their wares.

As a sales professional , when I’m watching the TV, I can’t help but analyze the product pitches in the commercials. I start thinking to myself, man that guy is annoying, but he is toooo smooth. Man that guy sucks,  or that guy was funny.

It is the method of communicating with prospects and clients. When you think about it nothing happens in most sales jobs without a phone call.   You can’t build your pipe without it and you certainly can’t close without it.

(At this point let me say that a shoe shine is one of THE best things you can ever do. Someone fusses over you, it’s cheap, there’s immediate gratification, and your shoes look great.)
