Do You Hate (or Maybe Dislike) Selling? [ 161]
Business / Sales  ]
The reason most people hate, or dislike, selling is that they already have a bad perception of a salesman. Therefore, they are afraid they will be perceived as taking advantage of their customers. This can frequently cause people to not get out there to sell, or at least slow down salespeople.

When you can change that perception to "being the answerman, being the helper" not only will it feel comfortable, but you will see your sales go through the roof.

Customer Service Problems--Help Your Employees Look at a Customer Complaint from the Customer’s View [ 183]
Business / Customer_Service  ]

When you hear an employee saying, "Stupid customer" that is an opportunity for you, as the business owner, or manager, to ask them to find out
1) What the customer really wanted, and make sure they get it.
2) Look for a way to prevent the problem for the next customer.
A CYA statement doesn't deliver the customer what he wants, nor resolve the company problem.
