[QUOTE="Slowalkintexan, post: 562451, member: 4235"] A short story long. Years ago on the road most salesman worked out of the big city,, there was a city at the end of our territories that was pretty affluent, too far for a day trip so most of us stayed at the some hotel, met up after at the same bar to swap stories and tell lies. Most of the salesmen would bitch about this or that “so and so” who was so ornery,,, I just listened, and learned, I called those sob’s and gave them my best treatment, regardless of how surlythey were. After about three visits I started getting some business from them.. Often just listening to them tell their stories, helped. Often they just appreciated someone listening. My business with all of them kept growing,,,,a year or so later I ran into a young ‘company’ salesman who service these same accounts, He had to because many of them were ‘company’ acconts. He said he noticed more and more of my products were creeping into ‘his’ stores… by that time I was getting the majority of their business and they were a large part of mine. Became good friends with many of those surly ‘ol sob’s’…. [/QUOTE]
