I had some sales training and “Features and Benefits” were the watch words.
Followed by the skill of “overcoming objections”.
(I hated sales)
:-)
Fair enough, many will feel that way for awhile. It is just good to see just who that man really is before it is to late.
I was in Trumps corner, after I was in Cruz corner. The scales fell from my eyes about 1 months ago, and I was reborn into the Cruz corner.
I am aware that many have a lot of reevaluation to do now, and it can be painful. Good luck....you are a smart guy and remember God gave you a brain, use it.
I remember this training.
Trump. Is his megalomania a feature or a benefit?
He retorts, you decide!
This guy is becoming a bigger loon by the day.
Yeah sales suck.
But there is some merit in some concepts involved.
Do you want to make a sale in order to benefit yourself? To make your quota regardless of whether or not your buyer actually has any use for or benefit of the product they are buying from you?
Or do you want to make a sale based upon your knowing that your are actually helping your buyer by selling them this product? Are you benefiting and enriching them... or are you using them?
As an honest man, I prefer to benefit and enrich. I’m not a shark. I want to look at myself as one of the good guys.
So, let’s apply some of these concepts to Donald’s campaign.
What are you selling me, Donald?
Why should I buy it, how does it benefit me, gotta be honest with you, Don, right now, you are scaring me a little bit.
In presidential primaries candidates have large organizations that have members who sometimes get a little too enthusiastic, too consumed by the contest. True, the guy at the top is ultimately responsible but in this case I believe it’s unfair for some to accuse Cruz of dishonesty.
Sadly, right now I don’t see any rafts on the horizon.
Obviously, I am going to have to vote for whoever wins, otherwise I’m going to get a shrieking harpy or an angry old communist guy for president, and either one of those is as good as going glug, glug, glug down under the waves.
None of these guys shine particularly bright for me right now ;/
Trump is selling you Trump U. And Steaks.
And Trump, the Game.
That is his angle.
I think Lee Atwater played pretty rough for ‘Kinder and Gentler’ poppy Bush.
I can’t believe so many FReepers are gaga over this dolt.
All I can tell you is that, right now, he’s losing this sale to me.
I’m starting to think that the product he is offering me is of no benefit to me.
Fair enough......
I think they are thinning out.
The Chump is back.
Politics ain’t been bag.
Freepers are getting outraged over a mailer and maniac video.
I think there needs to be some proportion to commie Bern and her evilness!
The thing that bothers me about Cruz is that he does things hat reveal himself to be something other than he claims to be.
What he is above anything else that he claims to be is a professional politician.
Same for Rubio.
They will say or do whatever it takes to get a vote.
I really don’t know if either one of them stands for anything other than their own election.
On this day, Feb 3, 2016, I don’t think that anyone in the GOP field is capable of reversing America’s decline.
The thing that bothers me about Trump is that he does things hat reveal himself to be something other than he claims to be.
‘I don’t think that anyone in the GOP field is capable of reversing America’s decline.’
Probably true.
I get that. I also get that people that wear their Christianity on their sleeve are held to a higher standard.
So Trump will always get more leeway than Cruz.
I know you are a trump supporter. I will vote for Trump if he beats Cruz. But I have no illusions.
I will take ‘ScotlandCare’ over HillaryCare any day.
We do need the article V convention.
Hey, I can’t argue with that. Trump definitely ain’t perfect. I think that much is apparent.
I can say for sure that Trump is not a professional politician.
In some ways that helps him, and in other ways it hurts him.
I will also say that Ted Cruz appearing to be a professional politician hurts him.
As far as Rubio goes, that guy just plain sucks all the way around.
I’m going to vote for the GOP nominee.
Even if it’s Rubio...
Can’t believe I just typed that out. God help me.
I DO NOT WANT a Clinton or Sanders presidency.
And yeah, I like Trump, he has some good qualities.
He has some bad qualities too, and right now he is disappointing me. I gotta be honest.
