Jo Coelho  - Bits and Pieces By Azad Iqbal(Submitted with permi   |125.237.100.xxx |2009-10-24 21:42:56 BITS & PIECES COMPILED BY AZAD IQBAL Vol.53 ________________________________________ _____________________ 01. Keep challenging yourself to do better. Executives who don't challenge themselves are coasting. When success starts coming easy, try something harder. Did you ever feel there ought to be a point in your life when you really have it made? A point at which your contributions have been so outstanding that you ought to be able to relax and enjoy a free ride the rest of the way? May be there should be, but there isn't. The minute a manager or a supervisor starts to relax, he or she begins to lose value. Someone else, with more drive and ambition, could do a better job. Let's face it - what you accomplished yesterday is history. More important now is what you can do for the business today and tomorrow. When the things you did yesterday and last year become more important than your ambitions for tomorrow and next year, it's t... Reply

Jo Coelho  - Bits and Pieces By Azad Iqbal   |125.237.100.xxx |2009-10-26 21:11:03 BITS & PIECES COMPILED BY AZAD IQBAL Vol.53 Writing letters to customers or prospects is not only necessary at times, but can help make the sale. You don't have to be a prize-winning author to write clear, effective letters, either. Here are a few pointers: • Start your letter with an attention grabber - one or two short sentences that will make your customer want to read on: "You may be eligible for a quantity discount, Mrs. Brown." • State your purpose as briefly as possible: "You'll get the discount if you meet these conditions..." • Stir their desires for the product: "Our system will cut your production costs by 10 percent annually..." • Ask for action: "Please call today, so we may arrange to meet." Keep your paragraphs short; they're easier to read. Use a conversational tone, staying away from phrases like: "Pending our deliberation of the subject in question..." Keep it f... Reply

Jo Coelho  - Bits and Pieces By Azad Iqbal-Vol-53- No.11 to 15   |125.237.100.xxx |2009-10-29 22:08:00 11. If we sit down at the set of sun and count the things that we have done and, while counting, find one self-denying act, one word that eased the heart of one who heard, one glance most kind that fell like sunshine where it went, then we may count the day well spent. But if through the long day, we’ve eased no heart by saying yes or no; if through it all we’ve done no thing that we can trace that brought the sunshine to a face, no act most small that helped some soul, and nothing cost, then count that day as more than lost. ==================== 12. In the year 1884 a young man from America died while on a visit to Europe. His grieving parents returned with the body. They were heartbroken; they had loved their son very much. After the funeral they began to discuss some kind of memorial to his memory - not a tombstone or ornate grave, but a living memorial, something that would help other young men like their son. After considerin... Reply

Confidence is entering a sales contest and wondering who's going to come second. ==================== 11. You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself into one. ==================== 12. We cherish our friends not for their ability to amuse us, but for our ability to amuse them. ==================== 13. Walking into a noisy classroom, the instructor slapped a hand on the desk and ordered sharply: ''I demand pandemonium!'' The class quietened down immediately. "It isn't what you demand," explained the instructor, "but the way you demand it." ==================== 14. A couple were being interviewed on their Golden Wedding Anniversary. "In all that time - did you ever consider divorce?" they were asked. "Oh, no, not divorce," one said. "Murder sometimes, but never divorce." ==================== 15. It's a safe bet you kn... Reply

What you don’t know may not hurt you, but it will certainly amuse a lot of people. ==================== 17. Before you (as a salesperson) walk out of the customer’s office, make sure you both understand exactly what’s been agreed to. Too often a buyer and a seller will make an agreement and then discover later that they had different ideas about the specific terms. Before they can get down to signing a written contract, they have to resolve these differences. Even worse is when specifics aren’t put into a written contract. If the buyer and the seller simply make a verbal agreement without getting the details ironed out, they are in for more trouble. By the time they find out they didn’t understand each other, it will be too late for reconciliation. Why do these misunderstandings occur? For one thing, we all tend to hear what we want to hear, rather than what is actually said. We’re busy thinking our own thoughts, not... Reply

Jo Coelho  - Bits and Pieces by Azad Iqbal-Volumn 53.   |125.237.90.xxx |2009-11-01 19:08:46 16. To believe with certainty, we must begin with doubting. ==================== 17. Ever come across an article about your product or a similar product in a trade journal or newspaper? Cut it out, have it laminated with plastic, and carry it with you to show to prospects or clients. If the article talks about the product in positive terms, it will help reinforce your sales presentations. If it points out negative aspects as well, use it to show how your product differs or how the product has been changed to eliminate those problem areas. If you want to include copies of the article with the literature you give to clients, write to the publisher and ask for reprints of the article. They're often printed with the masthead of the publication across the top and make impressive pieces to leave behind. ==================== 18.
