Biz trip Bangkok & the 4 edicts of selling

Just back from Thailand visiting suppliers, learning real estate, and chilling in the 90 degree weather – hey now. Bangkok has a chaotic energy unique to itself.
Why do I go and visit?
Funny you asked….here are my 4 edicts to successful selling:
You got to wake up – get out of bed and try hard. Duh. Effort still trumps everything.
You got to show up – emails are good but personal relationships are key. Face to face meetings still matter. Whence Bangkok.
You got to shut up – as in your mouth and listen for what people need.
and….
Always ask for the order – Literally say “may I have the order?” as often as possible.
Do these and you will be better than most.
So score another 25 miles over eight (8)days for BUILD to the tune of $9.78 per. Pathetic actually.
Total donations now are topping $20,000 … on the way to our goal of $50,000!
Thanks alot for your support.
Who wants to win a tee-shirt?:
the first two people that can explain why I am donating $9.78 instead of $10.00 will win a TWC tee-shirt. PLEASE contain your excitement….
Adios for now.
Great post, Brian. Love the photos. Glad to see you back to your international travels.
