I ran across this video because a friend and colleague, Trish Bertuzzi, wrote a great blog post about “Crossing the Chasm” in technology sales, and used this video as an example. Seth Godin used it and said,
“Initiators are rare indeed, but it’s scary to be the leader. Guy #3 is rare too, but it’s a lot less scary and just as important. Guy #49 is irrelevant.”
We as sales people and entrepreneurs are in many ways that Crazy Guy dancing. But hey! Look what happens if you dance long enough! Just keep dancing, and dance like nobody is watching. Maybe that means making huge mistakes on a cold call or taking a huge risk on a sales tactic or strategy. Just keep dancing and selling. You will win and you will succeed… somehow.. and maybe with a 100 weird friends dancing along

Today is November 4th and here in the U.S. we get to choose our President. After almost 2 years of selling and marketing their products, we, the prospect, get to choose, and make a decision. “No Decision” is not an option. For over 200 years we have practiced this messy form of Democracy, but rarely have we had this kind of an Historic Election. We as Sales people are busy, but we have to make time to VOTE! If it is in between sales calls… VOTE. If you have to leave early…. VOTE.
Have a good selling day … and…
