And I will eat them here and there.
Say! I will eat them anywhere!
I do so like
Green eggs and ham!
Thank you!
Thank you,
Sam-I-am
And that brings us to tonight's word: GREEN EGGS AND HAM
Green eggs and ham is one of the best sales examples out there. How many times do we hear the sale sometimes made on the 20th or 30th try? Well if you're in sales you hear it quite a bit. It's called priming the pump and nobody gives the story better than zig Ziglar.

Also in sales your skin needs to be thicker than thick. When you are trying to sell your message, especially if it's an unconventional one, you can't let a few rude people slamming the door in your face stop you from getting out there and knocking on the next house. There's an old joke: Michael Jackson knocks on a front door. The homeowner opens up and says, "Michael Jackson I'm your biggest fan! I got all your records! I've been to ten of your concerts". Michael Jackson says "Thank you. I would like to talk to you about becoming a Jehovah's Witness." The guy says "Get the heck out of here" and slams the door in poor Michael's Jehovah witness face.
Now this joke tells me one thing: you may have the slickest sales pitch and the best brand recognition in the land, but if you're selling something that people don't want or believe they need, they'll shut the door in your face. We saw a lot of this in the last year, haven't we? We saw a lot of people fight the sale in dinarland.
You know, you gotta like this Yosef guy (or maybe you don't..free will). Says he's got a face for radio. I say he's got the voice for the choir. He must've spent some time in sales because the sheer tenacity and relentlessness which he delivers his message is impressive. I remember someone somewhere on dinar recaps once said "you got to give it to the guy... he's committed." Kind of an understatement to say the least.
They say that willpower is limited. So the more you are able to be in front of someone and keep asking for the sale and keep wearing them down and keep handling objections over and over, through this "limited willpower" theory, you should be able to close the deal eventually. Make the sale. Ring the bell in the bull pen. That's why your mama says "Nothing good happens after midnight."
I know there's some people out there that wish they never heard the name Yosef. Wishing that us chosen ones still thought Zim was worth $11 million. Wishing that he would take his religious surrender message out of the equation. Wishing that he would just give the damn Intel. Wishing he would take the politics and the Trump bashing out of every message. Pretty big wish list, ya? Ya. I guess they didn't know who they're dealing with. Fred the Baker ain't got nothing on him.

So here we are about to unbuckle our seat belts and he's still trying to make that last minute conversion. God bless him. Trying to close that one last soul that he's called upon 50 times before. And either the trolls are asleep or they finally figured out they can't stop him, cause they haven't raised a ruckus like the old days. They would rather start buzzing around over his Trump stance than his surrender stance. Did some of these trolls ever get so far as to hurt his feelings? I don't know. Maybe once or twice. Only human right? Maybe a broken nose from a misjudged door slam. Maybe a bruised foot from trying to prevent another slamarooski. But did he get raw feelings? Some of the best salesman don't have feelings. They check it in at the door. Go visit a used car lot if you don't believe me.
At the11th hour in the dead of winter, there's still doors to be knocked. Must want that top sales award pretty bad. What is it this year? Trip to Hawaii? Hawaii is for closers. Market must be coming back. Like Sam I Am he knows that some sales are made on the 51st visit. And you know what? I bought what he was selling. I like green eggs and ham now. I'll most definitely be eating them on a plane. And I'll refer him to my friends and family because the best compliment you can give a sales person is your referral. Remember that. Besides, a good salesman makes you feel good about your purchase. Not waking up 2 days later with buyer remorse thinking how you can get your money back. And sometimes it's just plain impressive to watch a good salesman do what they do best. Mr. 8 mile. Mr. Holy Joe. Mr. Sam I Am.
And that's the word
