A friend of mine had a meeting with the VP of a professional sports team and called me after the meeting to share the wisdom that was dropped on him. Below is an overview of the "dropped knowledge"...


"Some Serious Notes from A SERIOUS MOTHER FUCKER:

• 2 Ears 1 Mouth……Listen Two times as much as you speak
• People do fucking business with people they fucking like
• Ask for references after you have crushed your performance (cutting grass theory)
• NEVER LIE……ALWAYS BE HONEST
• Sell it so you over deliver….So when you deliver it was the extra work YOU did
• BE NICE
• Entitlement
1. You are not entitled to SHIT
2. You must earn everything yourself
3. Position yourself as an asset to the company
4. Your generation thinks they deserve everything…that could not be further from the truth
• Be the 1st one in the office everyday…Get there; make a pot of coffee and poor half of it out. People will think you have drank 3 cups already
• Don’t lose the basics and get caught up in what you don’t know about what your selling
• College is OVER
1. Don't live like a Cave Man (Ben Roethlisberger lives like a cave man “I’m big Ben I can Fuck anything I want”)
2. Shower
3. Present yourself well
4. Manners Matter big time
• You don’t have to be a fucking nerd about what you are selling but be the “doctor with good bed side manner.”
• There is no such thing as a little deal
• No detail is too small
• Work Hard…..Play Hard…”Blow that shit out”… you must have fun
• Always write thank you notes. Make it personal, get some personal stationary. “I get 2000 emails a day, but if someone takes the time to write me a hand written note their stock goes up”.
• Do things against your nature
1. Get together with friends and talk about sales instead of pussy
2. Read books
• “The one thing you can change every day….EVERY DAY… is your fucking ATTITUDE! Be the happiest dude at the office”."
