Read of him and then add your own attributes to the list by posting a Comment below:
• He closed three sales on his way in to the office this morning alone. Two were strangers who stopped him in the street.
• His clients call just so they can leave him a voice mail message.
• His CSR could tell you stories—oh, could she ever tell you stories—but then she’d have to kill you. And she would.
• His sales manager quit out of sheer respect for his abilities.
• His bid requests are returned with three words on them: “I’ll do it.”
• Clients learn the cost of a print job when his invoice arrives.
• Grateful customers pay immediately. In cash.
• His press OKs frequently turn into a party.
• His business card features his picture...Nothing else.
• He once punched a Print Buyer. That’s right; you heard me!
• When someone raises an objection, he simply smiles. They apologize at once.
• His sales pitch: “You need this.”
• He once turned in an expense report that simply read, “Lunches.” Accounting wrote him a five-figure check.
• When he arrives at a company, receptionists call the customer to say, “He will see you now.”
• The only reason he loses a customer is death...Theirs!
• When he leaves the office for the day, production shuts down. After all, what’s the point?
