Great quote for everyone here (Salespeople READ THIS)
 

I've been reading this kick ass sales book. Here is a quote Mrs. Shap just read to me and it is VERY VERY TRUE! Sales people here these are words to live by.

If you make a sale, you can earn a commision.

If you make a friend, you can earn a fortune.

I agree, good quote.

I like "donation not duration". Thats from wayne dyer(sp)

Nice.........

The SHAP couple ROCKS :winkwink:

Very, very true. Shame everybody doesn't value friendship. It's a rare thing.

My marketing professor's favorite saying is:

If you can turn employees into associates, you'll turn customers into clients.

its not what you know, its who you know.

:thumbsup :thumbsup

Shap !

Very true, but friends and business don't mix. You can make friends outside the biz thought

:thumbsup

Jeffrey Gitomer's "Little Red Book of Selling" -- 12.5 Principles of Sales Greatness.

As with any good sales book most of it can be applied not only to sales but also life :winkwink:

Glad they just figured this out.

very nice indeed Shap . .. .

I could of used this while going door to door !

Shap, do you want to be my friend?

Nice!

Here's one I like:

"Early to bed. Early to rise. Work like hell and advertise." by Dr Scholl

What did you you sell door to door?

Awesome quote Shap! I thought it was going to be something bad.

I love it!

Very true Shap!! :thumbsup

Thats a true quote, it's a well known fact that sales people actually make more money selling to past customers then they do running around trying to recruit new ones.

Well, I believe there are a few good persons who know this.
At least I am lucky enough to meet some...

cheers!

Very true, but don't forget the ABC's......... Always Be Closing.....

You bet :thumbsup

Thank you for sharing that with us! What a nice early Christmas gift! Very true and on point - commissions come and go, relationships, if nurtured, are forever appreciated!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xo
