General Election

4 months to go!

Do you know who you’re voting for? No offense to McCain but I’ll probably be voting for Obama. Well, maybe the following will be a little bit offensive to McCain… The guy is another bumbling idiot. He may be the smartest guy “on the inside,” but come on everybody… isn’t it about time we have a smart guy “on the outside?” I respect John McCain’s service to our country, and I don’t really think he’s an “idiot,” but the guy just can’t speak very well. I don’t know if it’s because his old age or because he’s just lost some of his wit over time, but he just can’t walk and chew gum at the same time if you know what I mean.

I believe that the vocabulary people use and what they say is a good indicator of how smart they are. If you read my last post entitled “My Favorite Bushism’s,” you can get an idea of what I’m talking about. We need a president that speaks well in order to bring back some respectability to our country. If the leader of a nation doesn’t make any sense when they speak, what does that say about that nation? Would you take them very seriously? If the roles were reversed and John McCain was a great speaker and Obama didn’t make any sense when he spoke, then I would probably vote for McCain (even though I don’t agree with his views… we just need a smart person in office). However, that’s not the case and with McCain starting to use Karl Rove tactics in his campaign, I have no choice but to vote for Obama.

Ultimately, do what you think is best for the country but take into account the path we’ve been taking and decide if you want to continue on that path or make some positive changes and put a well spoken smart person in the top position of our country.

I’m Proud to be a Salesman

How Salespeople make the world go ’round

What do you think of when you think of a “Salesman?” Do you think of the fast talking used car salesman with the plaid suit and slicked back hair? Maybe you think of the door-to-door salespeople that have a suitcase with sample products that use “revolutionary” new technology that has been “kept a secret,” until now.

Change your perception

What I want people to do is to start thinking about sales as what it is: the profession that turns the wheels of industry. When Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, nobody was beating down his door asking him to install such a device. As a matter of fact, he was ridiculed and made fun of. He had to sell the idea of the light bulb which was a long and arduous sales cycle for him, but aren’t you glad he sold the idea? Well, maybe some naturalists aren’t too happy about that!

That chair your sitting on had to be sold to the business you bought it from and then to you. People thought that computers would never be very popular… but a salesman sold the idea that if they could make them smaller and affordable, people would buy them. I think he was right.

Everything you can see or use had to be sold. Every product and service started out as an idea in someones head, and then was brought to the market by salespeople. I am not ashamed to be a salesperson. I make cold calls every day offering my services. Do the people I call need my services? Maybe not. Maybe they don’t know they need my services yet. It takes a salesperson to fulfill the needs of people that don’t realize they have the need! My hat goes off to salespeople; don’t ever be offended if someone says they don’t like salespeople. Just imagine them donning some form of animal hide as clothing because that’s what they’d be wearing if it weren’t for salespeople.

Illegal Immigrants

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

Are your papers up to date?

If your papers are not up to date, be on the lookout for this guy:

Lou Dobbs

Now don’t get me wrong, I like how Lou shows outrage at some of our absurd policies and corporations carelessness, almost constantly, but his outrage can be outrageous at times.

I respect people that come to our country illegally. These people are just trying to provide a better life for their families and it also serves as a wakeup to some of us that we have it pretty good here in this country. Also, I do believe that if someone is here illegally and they commit a crime we should punish them for that crime and send them back to the country they came from.

One thing that concerns me more than immigrants coming in is our jobs going out! That’s something that should be on the top of everyone’s list, how are we going to create good jobs for you and I?
