I owed an apology to you, you and you...

Last week I accompany a new consultant to see a new prospect, I thought I was a good consultant with years of experience. I thought I saw the prospect in front of us is just having fun of us for asking for all details which has nothing or not much relation to making the buying decision.

I thought he is not keen but pretend to be keen, I thought he is poor but disguise to be rich. I thought I am right but he is wrong.

I gave a comment to my consultant that he is no way near a prospect but more like a 'suspect'. I almost say the words 'don't waste your time on him'.

Now than I know I was wrong, now that I realised I almost kill a sales, and I thank you, Jennifer, for not giving up your prospect. For you have confident in both yourself and your prospect. You did what I thought it was impossible, you amazed me for your innocently positivity.

I apologies for my mistake and my misjudgment.

Among all, I apologies for my PREJUDGMENT.

I always told you guys that don't prejudge don't prejudge and DON'T prejudge. And see what I did?

Well done Jennifer, it's a 1 week effort and a 1 month salary for you!

Random thoughts 20090703

I said this before somewhere and I am gonna say it again.

We do no need to have a high IQ to see that, almost EVERYTHING in this world share a common or almost identical structure and characteristic. Take a Good Photographer and a Good Sales Person for example.

A Good Photographer produce a image that pass on the emotion to the audiences.
A Good Sales Person come up with a sales preach that pass on the emotion to the prospects.

A Good Photographer stand on the audience side to experience how they would receive his art.
A Good Sales Person stand in the prospect shoes to imagine how they would rather hear what he wants to say.

A Good Photographer most of the time is telling a story by his image.
A Good Sales Person always need stories to make his prospects relate to what his point is.

A Good Photographer know Rules are meant to be broken.
A Good Sales Person understand that the only rules is if he can't close, he is screwed.

A Good Photographer thinks it is not the camera, it is the photograph that counts.
A Good Sales Person always believe it's not the products or the company that can't sell, it's the sales person themselves and their sales ideas.

A Good Photographer see the picture first in their mind before it is produced.
A Good Sales Person watch that closing 'movie' first before they walk into the prospect office and talk.

There is however two differences between the two:

1. Photography is better as a hobby than as a career.
2. Sales Job is better as a Career than as a hobby.

As usual, just another random thought from me to you. Have a nice day~
