Got word

Its Friday, got up at 5am, was in the office at 7. Got word this morning that we will close a national deal, and now I don't want to do anything else. Ever have that happen. The luck turns your way, and you now want to take the time off.

You know what, you are entitled to take that time off. There is a point in every sales person's life when they should sit back and enjoy the view.

I am going to the park, now.

Good selling,

Steve

Hi Steve. It's Vicki L. Remember me from our UJA days? While surfing the net, I came across this. Glad to see/hear you're doing well.

I can't believe how many years have passed since our UJA days.

Hope to hear from you.

Hi Steve, I recently got hired on with a Foreign exchange risk management company in their sales department. We work with import/export companies and help them manage their foreign exchange exposure. Since I've never done sales before I went out and bought every book on cold calls I could get my hands on, I found them all to be rather useless and irrelevant, that is untill someone recommended your book on cold calling. I've read it 3 times now and I feel very comfortable with the prospect of doing cold calls. I start the Job this week. I'll keep you posted on how things go.

let me know how things go.

regards,Steve

Hi Steve:

I'm so glad you received my posting and have responded.

Well, what's doing after 25 years you ask? I am working full time at the College of Staten Island. I am still married to Mitch (27 years) (remember, your daughter was my flower girl), our son is turning 22 in August. He attends the College of Staten Island and will graduate this coming December. He has a double major in math and economics. He's doing a paid internship this summer in the city. In fact, they are going to have him do some "cold calling" When he told me that, I thought of you.

What's doing with you? How is your wife and daughters? I enjoy reading your blog. As always, you have good common sense advice presented in a witty manner.

Hope to hear from you again.
