Here’s Round 2 of the stories my friend Debbi Bressler sent me.
A guy and his wife walk down from their NYC condo to a restaurant for Sunday brunch.
Two little elderly ladies are seated next to them.
Waiter: Hi ladies ! Can I start you with some soup ?
Little Lady: That would be great ! What are the soups of the day ?
Waiter: Well, we have chicken noodle and vegetable right now. Our really good soup won’t be ready for another hour.
Little Lady: ………… ( speechless).
Okay. So the guy doesn’t have a career in sales ahead of him. But what would you say to that … besides:
” Okay thanks. I’ll be back in an hour. “
Again, why do salespeople, and waiters are salespeople, cast doubt, confusion and anger into a situation containing a prospect ?
Again, the answer is, they don’t. Not everybody in sales is a salesperson. Just as not everybody who walks into a garage is a car.
