Some Capsules of Salesology
A good salesman has plenty of sand, but he never lets the prospect mistake him for the sandman.
He doesn't confound noise with persuasion.
He knows that overselling a fellow one time means "nothing doing" the next.
He doesn't promise more than his house can fulfill and thereby saves the complaint department a lot of work and a big postage bill.
He doesn't force an issue that will result in a break of diplomatic relations between his house and his cqstomers.
When he strikes a "tough nut" he doesn't strike him off his list, but hammers away every time he makes the town until he finally "cracks" him.
He builds goodwill for the house, makes friends for himself, puts money in the bank, and wastes very little time writing about "unfavorable conditions" in his territory.
He realizes that the eternal triangle exists in the affairs of business as well as in the affairs of the heart, and that in order to succeed he must please himself, his house, and his customer.
