Early in my sales career I was a new account salesperson that sold central computers/ mainframes. The day before the system was scheduled for delivery, I would call the office manager and ask when might be a good time for me to show up the next day. My plan was to bring a cake to celebrate the delivery of the new computer system.
The client was always excited and gave me a time. Each installation was paired with cake and coffee with the company president, during which I’d look at him/her directly in the eye and say, “If you ever have a problem with this system and you feel like you are not getting the proper answers, you call me. I will make sure I get the system fixed for you.”
Here’s another time that I was able to have fun doing my job:
Although it was fun, bringing the cake gave me the opportunity to let the customer know that:
- There was someone (me) who took responsibility for making their system work properly.
- They could have a sense of security knowing I had the power in my company to take care of them.
- They could rely on me to help them.
You would be surprised how much that statement and that cake helped my future sales not only within that company, but with friends of the president at other companies.
Are you focused on your next task before you even leave your customer’s office? Take a moment to reflect on the little things that other salespeople have done for you that stood out or cultivated loyalty on your part. How can you translate that to your own customers?

I am no longer positive the place you’re getting your information, but great topic.
I needs to spend some time studying more or figuring out
more. Thank you for great information I used to be in search of this info for my mission.
The road seemed to stretch on endlessly before us, but Alexis assured me that our journey was near an end. We’d turn before long into thick woods and travel through narrow, winding roads until we reached her family’s cabin. I had no choice but to trust her as GPS had given out nearly 20 minutes ago.
“There’s good wifi and okay reception at the cabin,” she’d told me, “but you can’t get there unless you know the way.”

So here I was, driving alone in the middle of god knows where with a girl who was my student just a couple of weeks ago. Her and her four best friends had been together from first grade all the way through high school and now they had graduated with very different futures ahead of them. They had decided to kick off “the best summer ever” with a week long stay at Alexis’s family cabin. Alexis and I were heading up before everyone else, the four other girls and four guys.
You’ve made some decent points there. I looked on the web for additional information about the
issue and found most individuals will go along with your views on this site.

This design is steller! You certainly know how to keep a reader entertained.
Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start
my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Wonderful job.
I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you
presented it. Too cool!
