As I said on Fit as a Fiddle Friday, my first rule of successful selling is to be enthusiastic. Of course, it can really be applied to all we do in life. I love this idea, from Coehlo, that the sheep had taught Santiago a 'language' of enthusiasm. Let's explore it more tomorrow and specifically talk about one of the key components of this special language - the smile."But the sheep had taught him something even more important: that there was a language in the world that everyone understood, a language the boy had used throughout the time that he was trying to improve things at the shop. It was the language of enthusiasm, of things accomplished with love and purpose, and as part of a search for something believed in and desired. Tangier was no longer a strange city and he felt that, just as he had conquered this place, he could conquer the world." (page 62)
Make it a great Monday,
Dad
