Sell Me This Pencil
Were you ever being interviewed for a job when the interviewer said to you, “Sell me this pencil?” What did you say? What was he looking for? Why do people still do this?

The Smart Alternative to Layoffs
The slowing economy has sent many of my clients back to the drawing board to take a sharp pencil to next year's budget. Small businesses run lean and mean most of the time, so there aren't many significant line items available for reduction… until you get to payroll.
In the Thrall of Procrastination
The last weeks of August are bittersweet for me as I say farewell to summer, my favourite season. I experience September as a month of new beginnings, likely harking back to my school years – but without the new erasers and pencil crayons.

Your customer is asking for price discounting, or price haggling. This analogy of the 3 legged stool has served me well in my sales career. If it makes sense to you, try it for yourself. It certainly presents an extremely visual image.
