Unique Closers
I’m not talking about closing the sale. I’m talking about the last thing you say to a customer in your opening conversation that reminds them who you are and that you’d be happy to help. So, instead of saying, “I’m Scott if you have any questions,” or “Here’s my card if you need me,” I’d say:

• “If you need anything, I’ll be over by the donuts.”

• “Well, I’m Scott. If you have an questions, I’ll be in the back corner sleeping on the $3000 Italian Leather Sofa.” (SIDE NOTE: one out of every five customers then asked me, “Ooh! Can we see that sofa?”)

• “I’ll let you guys go have fun. If you need me, I’m the only salesman under 50.”

LET ME ASK YA THIS: What’s your unique closer(s)?

You readers, go have fun; I’ll be pblogging on something over in tech, if you have any questions!

GUNS: Doctor Ruth was sniper in th Israeli Army

Saturday, September 16, 2006

I was just listening to an episode of Hollywood Squares on GSN. (Hey everyone has to have some Quadrant 4 time!) They said Doctor Ruth was once a sniper in the Israeli Army. I was stunned. Tech me never to judge a book by the cover. And, any skin head might be well advised to avoid little old Jewish ladies like her. She might have a surprise for them. Neat factoid!

WRITING: Standing on the shoulders of others

Saturday, September 16, 2006

A fellow pinged me back about something I had written in a public forum about “good points”, here’s what I wrote back.

Thanks but I didn’t write that to “score points”. I did write it to let people know what I was seeing. I like to say “I’m hopeless, nut maybe I can help you”. That, and my other favorite, “We all stand on the shoulders of other men. Some of who were giants. Some of who gave all for us. When is it our turn to be the shoulder that others stand upon”.

Very philosophical this morning.

By the way, I still haven’t figured out what to call this media or medium. “Online drivel”, “pearls of wisdom”, “dikw”, … or “stream of consciousness poetry” come to mind.

Is it a blog? Most of the blogs I read are much more structured. more topic restricted. written by multiple people.

This is a — single authored — personal ramble — on things that attract my attention — of dubious value — somewhat whiny — randomly interesting?

A personal web log? A pblog! (Dare you to pronounce that!)
