The way you look


Recognizing selling opportunities all has to do with attitude and thinking in opportunities instead of threats.




The next short story illustrates this just fine:




Selling shoes in Africa


A shoe company's sales manager was sent to Africa to sell shoes. Shortly after he arrived, he called his boss and said: “I'm coming back right away. There's nothing to sell. Nobody wears shoes here."

So, the shoe company immediately sents in a new sales manager who also immediately calls back home with the message: “Please send every shoe you have! Nobody is wearing shoes here!”




So remember this sales manager next time before you turn down any opportunity.
