Jeffrey Gitomer Reveals Where Most Companies Get Things Backwards

"It’s most interesting to me that every single company in the world tries to teach salespeople how to sell. Nothing could be more backwards or ineffective. What they should be teaching is how to position, how to promote, how to provide value, how to communicate, how to make presentations, how to engage, and how to connect. If you employ my first rule of selling, People don’t like to be sold, but they love to buy, then you will understand that learning “how to sell” goes against the grain of human nature. It’s a hell of a lot easier to build trust by providing value than it is to make a sales pitch."

Charlie "Tremendous" Jones on Leadership

I maintain we are all leaders.

The point in question is not, “Are you a leader?”

The point in question is this:

“Are you leading people up?

Are you leading people down?

Are you leading them in? Out? All about?”

And really the question is always, “What is your motive?”

There are only two motives: one is for you—which is the way we all start out.

The other is when God becomes the driving force in your life, and then you do it for others.

You can not do it for yourself because the selfishness, our ego, gets in the way.

As you grow mature in the Lord, and He begins to have a little more of His way, you begin to have a little less of your way.

It is so much more wonderful to see how He works through you rather than you working for Him: One is showmanship and the other is bemanship.

Microsoft and GM Contemplate What If? http://lenq.me/whatif A delightful musing for all who have ever operated a computer!

Microsoft and GM Contemplate What If?

For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on.

At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating, "If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics (and I just love this part):

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash, twice a day.

2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.

4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.

5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive, but would run on only five percent of the roads.

6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single, "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.

7. The airbag system would ask, "Are you sure?" before deploying.

8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key, and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same
manner as the old car.

10. You'd have to press the 'Start' button to turn the engine off.

P.S. I'd like to add that when all else fails, you could call 'customer service' in some foreign country and be instructed in some foreign language how to fix your car yourself!!

P.S.S. No one over the age of 65 could drive more than one mile before having to have a grandchild come and restart the car.

Please share this with your friends who love - but sometimes hate - their computer!

DISCLAIMER: Please note I have no idea if such an exchange ever really happened, however, I received it from my wife's friends and thought you might enjoy this flight of fantasy.
