Selling is “you-focused”, not “me-focused”. Selling is primarily about helping individuals and organizations solve their problems with a product or service you offer. In order to succeed, you must get “me” out of the way. Your focus must be on the customer and what he / she / they need. You are not there to push a particular product that you like or that is best for your bank account. You are there to determine what product or service is best for the customer’s particular situation.

This can be difficult for some of us. We often approach a sales situation with everything we want to say fixed firmly in mind. When the customer brings up an objection, rather than listening for what the real concern is, we use one of the 1,001 “overcoming objections” one-liners we’ve memorized. Wouldn’t it make more sense to start by asking questions to determine what the customer’s true needs are instead?

Selling is hard work. Again, this may come as a surprise to those who think selling is the career choice of people looking for a way to dodge work. The truth of the matter is that selling is a challenging, mentally demanding and highly disciplined way to earn a living. It requires a high level of organization, a commitment to continuing education, professionalism and excellent follow-through skills, It also requires a quality that can be very difficult to attain and even more difficult to maintain: Persistence is Required!

The World Is SOLD!

The bottom line is this: Dealing with rejection, overcoming resistance, keeping up with current product information and maintaining a positive attitude is hard work. To succeed, you must commit wholly to putting in the necessary work, to consistently performing the tasks required for excellence.

I find this song of his catchy and he actually looks quite hot too With his deep eyes and best of all he applies makeups! First saw this Video in the Gym and it Pumps me up! Didn’t know he is that good looking, cos in his album cover he looks like a lady with his deep eyes and best of all he applies makeups! Too bad, understand that he’s gay? Haha Enjoy!

My mom told me about this movie she watched recently, a DVD that her friend borrowed her, very touching and best of all is a real life story of a dog, being so loyal to the master. The dog’s breed is from Japan, which is the Japanese Akita. I saw a Puppy Japanese Akita once in real life this breed which looks abit like a cat/lion when it grows bigger.  I would give this movie a 8.1 / 10; the plus point is that is a True Story and secondly is how they get the dog to act so closely with Richard Gere, from a puppy, adult and senior dog.

Hachiko

The name of the dog “Hachi” meaning “eight” , the number referring to the position of the dog within the nest. It is a true story, base on a dog’s loyalty to his owner where he waited patiently and willingly without fail, daily same time, same place until the day he dies! How loyal is that? I don’t think even human can do that, and an animal who is so devoted to his owner with his responsibilities to see his owner to work and back from work daily was his best happiest moment. Hachiko who was born in on November 10th 1923 -  and died on March 8th 1935. That up till today, there is a monument built in the name of Hachiko in front of the Shibuya Train station of Tokyo Japan. Apparently until today, there is an annual ceremony on the 8th March, dog lovers and owners will bring their dog as a time of devotion and honor as a remembrance at Tokyo’s Shibuya station. Even the station entrance near this statue is named ” “Hachik?-guchi”, meaning “The Hachik? Exit”, and is one of Shibuya Station’s five exits.

A trailer of this movie can be found in youtube, if you’ve got no time to watch it, when it was a puppy it was really cute!

Character #1 – Results Focused (Pro-Active)
One of best things about being a sales person is you have a tremendous amount of freedom and discretion in how you use your time. In return, you must be able to stay focused on the big picture and not let small problems or dramas distract you.

Character #2 – Courageous
We all experience fear at one time or another. Great salespeople are courageous, in that they are able to act and move forward even in the presence of their own fears. Fear is the reaction we have when you know that you need to do something or that something is going to happen soon that you are not prepared for.

Character #3 – High Energy (Assertive)
The true top-performers got that way by working long and hard to beat out their competition while the other guys were enjoying themselves on the golf course. In short, you must be able to do “Whatever It Takes” to get to the top.

Character #4 – Good Network
The ability to establish rapport and maintain rapport is probably the single most powerful skill a salesperson can have. The most flexible people can adapt and establish rapport with others from a multitude of backgrounds and cultures.

Character #5 – Committed To Grow
Great salespeople got that way by always looking for a better way. They are always improving their approach, their techniques and their attitude. Great salespeople know that they must look for the best examples of excellence and adopt the individual aspects of this that they can use.

This is indeed a very good question. I have heard of this question since my schooling days, and this is one of the oldest and most famous riddle still in use in the English history.

Looking back, some say that it was a test of the chicken’s health and growth capability. However, on the lighter side of things, there is quite a debate on this. Onto why did they use “chicken” instead of any other animals for this riddle, was it that “duck” was not invented yet?

Well, there is no right or wrong answer to this riddle, just a way on how you would to answer it to what i believe.
