I’m not a sales guy, but if I were, and I were prone to blogging about it, I would name my blog “Coffee Is For Closers.” There can be no better name for a sales blog. ‘Course there are no sales blogs because the sales guys don’t have time for blogs. A-B-C, baby. A-B-C. A-Always, B-Be, C-Closing. Always be closing. Always be closing!
I’m just sayin’.

[…] What a refreshing way to start my morning, but to read about sales strategies, and at that, the oldest one in the book: ABC - Always Be Closing! (This of course is from the Glengarry Glen Ross movie or theater play - I’ve seen both…) Reading it on Brendon Connelly’s Slacker Manager blog made me thing of how often we complexify the issues today when selling, compared to good o’le cold calling and door-to-door selling.

As a recovering salesman I agree with you on the coffee part… but a question… don’t old salesmen turn into web marketers?

You can smell the aroma, taste the golden brown goodness, and experience the jolt of excitement that the caffeine brings. And this is just your imagination working… wouldn’t it be better to experience the real thing?
Wouldn’t it be better to click on the following link, take out your credit card and have a delicious batch of coffee coffee delivered to your door?
