an excellent story about sales

I love stories that capture the essence of mastery. Here is the latest one I read on LinkedIn Answers. The question: Best sales person you've ever worked with... What makes them great?.

I met a great sales guy in a local train.

Two of them selling hair bands for women came into compartment. While one just passed through a bunch of guys sitting next to the door, another one stopped and asked the guys if he they want to buy the band.
Guys had good laugh before asking what makes him think they need the hair band. He suggested that you can give it to your sister, mother or any other female. What if they dont like it or require it ? asked another guy.
He said, "They will like that you care about them and the band is costing you dirt".

All the guys sitting there bought one pair each.

new gift Idea... for ME!

This evening.. in the midst of the evening chaos of a family of 5 meeting for dinner with 2 more. I decided I was going to rock and roll on the piano a bit. Then, I was inspired to rattle on with a few more riffs. The enjoyment was so liberating that I jumped in all the way and started really banging the keys. I think it sounded decent... I dont know... I just know that it was elating to play some rock and roll without really thinking about anything else.

One day, I dream that I will play the keys like Fess (aka Doctor Professor Longhair) or Old lovinghair as the ladies call him. Here is a gift idea for me: http://www.louisianamusicfactory.com/showonemerch.asp?TypeID=74&ProductID=30037

Also, today I delivered my 10th speech at Toastmasters. That was interesting! This means I am awarded with the Competent Communicator status.

Quote from Rick Pitino's book

I have returned to one my favorite books, Success is a Choice, by one of the most inspirational modern-day coaches, Rick Pitino. Here is the quote that sums up the day:

When you go to the table with greatness, everyone eats better.
~Rick Pitino

The coolest part about this book is its accessibility to simply anyone on any project with any group of people. It is certainly part of my regular diet of success in business and sports!!

Today, at the Deltec plant, we celebrated the 55kwh solar array on our roof! It was a wonderful engagement with speakers: David Hall (Deltec President), Charles Thomas (NC House Representative for Buncombe County), Craig DeBrew (of Progress Energy) and Heath Shuler (US Representative for the 11th District of North Carolina). What a cool experience to be part of. I am ecstatic to represent and work with such a progressive company!! And it gets better...
As David Hall put it, "This is NOT the culmination of our greening efforts."

...more to come.

bam!
