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 ???
