Thought Tweet #761 How To Create A Real Scary Sales Monster...a recipe



The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Really, I am not 100% sure how I did it.

I just know I did it.

Actually, I did it more than once in my career.

I somehow created some high-octane sales beasties that were real scary.

While I don't have the exact recipe I do know the key ingredients and the key process steps:

  1. Take 2 big egos - make sure one is your own and the other junior [junior, in the hierarchical sense or you will not be able to claim credit for the creation of the Sales Monster]
  2. Apply some loud volume.
  3. Blend the big egos together harshly with some lofty goals.
  4. Send the junior ego out to the field under very-tight time deadlines.
  5. Allow a free run for a few days.
  6. Voila - a Sales Monster.
[bon appetit]

Thought Tweet #757 Love success and kill yourself striving for it OR Hate fear so much you do whatever it takes to remove it.


The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Based on all the ‘Can’t Do’ stuff I have seen and heard, I’d suggest you work on your minds to ensure you fear failing so much that you give yourselves one choice - success.”

Thought Tweet #753

Thought Tweet #753 Do you spend more time (A) annoying people or (B) watching people you don't know annoying people you don't know on TV?

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

The mob loves reality TV. As technology advances the mob watches real TV people decorate cakes, dance with stars, and catch alligators. The mob has an insatiable appetite for annoying other people - both doing it and watching it being done.

As the techies and academics work away at bringing us the Singularity, the mob gorges itself on a wide range of TV reality shows. What a juxtaposition.

Thought Tweet #752 Think in new ways; think in old ways...just don't waste time dabbling in-between.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Wisdom survives the test of timeCuriosity & Creativity are essential things.

It's the stuff in-between that wastes time, injures attitude, and accomplishes little.

Thought Tweet #749

Thought Tweet #749 Some folks are so brutal in front of faces they don't have to repeat themselves behind backs.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Constructive Criticism Is An Oxymoron.

When toxic people succeed in work environments that success is always short-lived...and the success comes at a high price.

And related to this...

If you feel compelled to repeat yourself make sure you don't do it behind people's backs.

And...

How is it that back-talk happens face-to-face?
