The “great brain robbery” is a good book, because if it ain’t broke, break it. Only when we push things to their limits, can we find the capacity. And maximum capacity +, = GROWTH, SO WHY EXCEPT LESS WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH MORE MARKET SHARE TO BE HAD. Go for the gold, silver doesn’t pay enough.

Thank you for shopping K-Mart

At least I didn’t have to bond out this time. here’s a good one on breaking rules. i was trying to get to the decision maker for some digital media software we were selling. And me being a cowboy, just jumped right in, got through the screener, and was talking to the CIO, and the software was really awesome. Well he cut me off half way through, and I was just about to get to the value, and talked to me like I was a bonehead, and gave me a lecture, of course I cut him back off with no regard for his insults, and broke it off in his neck. Then I said to myself, wow, what did I do. Started building my resume’, then I stopped and started getting mad again. I wasn’t wrong, he was, so I called the CEO of Phelps Dodge, and left a message that went like this, I think the culture of your company sucks, your I just talked to one of your exec’s and he talked to me like a dirtbag, which I am not, when I had some extremely valuable information for your communication network that would have launched your company up to the front lines, and your profits are gonna hit ceiling, but he talked to me like some backwoods, deliverence, possum hunter, and I don’t care if you guys were the last business on the planet, I wouldn’t deal with you ever, now I’m gonna leave my number, but I know you won’t call me, cause the tail usually follows the head, but here’s my cell number, and I’m not talking to any screener, if there’s any respect at all in your company you’ll call me, but you won’t because if you hire people like that to work for you, chances are they’re just like you. He’ll lie, you’ll believe him, and here we go again.
Not only did I get a call back, it was the CEO in his car, after work, stuck in rush hour. I got an apology from him, and an opportunity to pitch him and the clown that talked bad to me, and an apology from him as well. We didn’t sell all the software to them but we did quite well. But that CIO was never really nice to me after that. But who cares I did my job,was effective, but it wasn’t done as well as I do that sort of thing these days, it was accidental. But an accident can work for you if you learn from it. So Adam I totally agree, we can’t punk ourselves out, but still should maintain a level of respect even when we drill the prospects back. Boy that was a mouthful.
