The analogy between Sales and Surfing

Last week-end came as a welcome break in a 2 weeks sales training in the US. After having spend a few hours in the ocean, I started to feel some analogy between surfing and selling, or better put, trying to surf and trying to sell.

Here are some thoughts:

• In order to catch the wave, you need to have the same speed as the wave.
• The effort to take a short wave or a big one is the same.
• Bigger waves do surf much better.
• You should choose your wave carefully and not jump on the first one you see.
• When you are tired you need to rest.
• The good waves are not always where all the surfers are. (Surfers tend to flock together randomly)
• Whatever you do there will always be people giving you advice from the beech or at least comment your actions amongst them.
• The adrenaline rush when you are surfing and when you are closing a sales is the same.
  

However the analogy stops with following remarks:
You cannot surf 2 waves at the same time
In surfing, you cannot take over the credit of someone else.
Sales is not an individual sport.

any more ideas ???

The fine art of Mourkezit

Not easy to understand, certainly not easy to practice. The fine art of Mourkezit is certainly more complex than Tai Shi. For outsider it appears basic: just sit down on the wall and watch people pass. For people like us it is an art, a new way of life.

a brother killing the brother he was prepared to die for

It shows how easily communities, indeed families, were torn apart by divisions over the best way forward to achieve Irish freedom and how desperate people were.

Spinning

I took up spinning yesterday in a desperate attempt to get fit. From now on, once a week I will spin me to a healthier life.

Stop smoking = 84,7kg

As I stopped smoking early July I slowly started to gain more weight.

In order to give my life more meaning I've decided to start to get fit again. My target is to loose 7kg. Current status: 84,7kg.

Please help me !

Back to normality

Back to school for the kids today.
Back to normality for the parents.

Enjoy daily happiness

It would be so much better to learn to enjoy the little things we do every day instead of waiting for to next big thing to be happy.
