Tip: What the Debates Have Taught Us!
The recent Presidential debate has taught us one thing regardless of where you fit in the political spectrum. I heard that the final poll from CNN (not necessarily a conservative outlet) had Romney as the clear winner 72% over Obama 20%. Like I said, you have had to be blind, literally and figuratively, to not agree with this poll.
I say blind for a reason. This debate taught us that body language and being prepared are very key in any type of presentation. The President was clearly not prepared for this debate, and one could turn the sound off the television to see who was winning. The picture above was the most damaging picture of all. It looked like the President was losing, regardless of what was being said. Just trying to get through this 'thing' so he could do something else. Now, to put this into a sales perspective, how many times have you looked like the guy on the right? Have you sat through meetings with bad body language, only trying to endure the pain and get out of there? In my book, PROFITS, I spend an entire section on being prepared. It's our responsibility to take the lead in our debates with our customers, and not show up just to get to the next meeting. This was a quick post, but something very clear and evident. If you think you're having lapses of 'Obamaism's', you may want to give us a call at Pinnacle Sales so we can get you prepared to debate like a pro!
