It's All The Same!

That's an astute observation, JoeC - extended to what each of us has become at least represented in our posts on this forum -scarcity/abundance poles and success not being necessarily material is likewise an observation we might extend into everyone/everything posted here.

Winning or making or getting or accomidating sales is where we should arrive with confidence and a security in being true to ourselves in comfortable and productive ways, isn't it?

Don't all our posts reflect who we are at the present time?

If we use the right mirror.

Trying to think of that Emerson quote.

I don't know it off hand - did a quick search and didn't come up with it - so many quotes about mirrors - human resources guy forty years ago told me I might go far in life if I had a good liberal arts education and could talk with people about a lot of things and take an interest in them. I believed him but it didn't take convincing as that was my natural bent anyway.

People toss cliches around here, you know everywhere - I point them out calling them cliches - Frost has a great essay you may know about paying attention to that breaking point when metaphors fall apart - language is metaphor.

So my cliche is: it's all the same.

I may be the only one, but I have no clue what the subject is here. I'm definitely not on the same wavelength as you and Joe. I'm interested in talking about selling, though, if anybody wants to talk about that.

I'm bailing out of this one ... it's "more of the same" and I think someone has swallowed a thesaurus ...

I ask because too many times there's an agreement or statement - that makes sense; or I see - but is it so? What's being communicated anyway.

MitchM

It makes sense that prospecting flows into selling. In my career I start out by locating a lead, then qualifying that lead and finally selling that lead (when applicable). There are no herky jerky movements.

It should be smooth the one flowing into the other - one continuous movement. I've never worked in any sales environment comprised of complex or complicated negotiations or incentives - any push or pull situations my son-in-law's taught me in the supply/after market business he understands.

Nevertheless, it seems to me that in any context a simple want it or not has to begin with and preceed the close even when there are multiple steps or no one moves forward.

Thanks for the clarification, Houston.
