Successful selling is achieved by entrepreneurs and professional salespeople by doing what it takes to do what it takes. In sales there are no short cuts to success. It takes preparation and practice plus an extraordinary attitude. Here's a little information about one of the greatest thinkers in the 20th century. Some of his ideas can make good salespeople great. Here are some facts. He was born March 14, 1879 and died April 18, 1955. He was a German born theoretical physicist who is best known for his theory of relativity. In 1921 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. He authored more than 50 scientific papers and in 1999 Time Magazine honored him by naming him "Person Of The Century." I guess you can say the name "Einstein" is synonymous with "Genius." You're probably wondering how I'm going to connect Einstein with the subject of selling. One of the most memorable quotes in my collection of quotations belongs to Einstein. I'll bet you recognize it immediately. It was Albert Einstein who defined insanity this way. He said, "Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is insanity." He also said, "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction."
