TIPS FOR GOOD SELLING
• Slip into the farmer’s shoes!• The farmer's perception of you rises in direct proportion to how much you know
about him and his situation.• „What's in it for me?“• Customers buy for their reasons, not yours.• The quality of the answers you get is in direct relation to the quality of your
questions. • "I keep six honest serving men. Then taught me all I knew. Their names are What,
Why, and When, and How, and Where and Who." Rudyard Kipling • "If you think you can or you can't, you're always right." Henry Ford• How many people have you made smile today? Do it at least one more time. • Success comes before work only in the dictionary. • Emotional words that sell include "guarantee," "easy," "worry free," "saves," and,
"helps you to . . .".

Get a picture in your mind. Then go for it!
