Most statesmen hold their Jobs will
diplomacy, without whica they are moi
faiesmen. Some statesmen rely on q
quantity OF talk, others rely on say
ing something with a brcvity that is
impressive.
Too much language and dearth OF
facts have been the undoine Of many
promising statesmen. and the .'promis-
ing salesman is usually the one who
gets the biggest bunch of promised or
GERS. The man who is the most care

on the pay roll with the soundest grip
The salesman who does as he agrees,

by the president the quickost-,hc one

Some statesmen sell goods. some dis
lose and others get rid of them. There
Is vast difference in the profit col

Some statesmen spend so much time
trying to get the prospect in the prop
er mood that they forget the real is
sue and fail to sell anything. He is like
the man who waited an entire evening
for theatre time and then discovered
that his watch had stopped
Some statesmen are good story tell

cided difference when quality is con-
sidered
There is only one person on earth
who knows when a salesman is honest
and that is the salesman himself
but in a reasonable length of time all
of the prospects have his measure in
their mental notebook
So many statesmen try to fina out
whether they are holding a job or a
position and they wake up to find T.

Some statesmen can't define The diff .
ference between getting a customer
for the house and getting an order for
some goods. The right kind of a sales
man gets both.
Some statesmen have a 10 horse bower
intellect and try to convert it into a
30 horse power pull for business with
tho result that their clutch slips on all
the big deals that they tackle.
The real salesman is he who can con-
vert orders into customers for future
rders. and like good farmers work
the same ground for a more profitable
second crop. One who can sort out the
customers from the prospects without
wasting the valuable time of either;
this kind is SO scarce that they are
seldom found outside of captivity, and
you must usually make or have that
kind made TO order.
