A Rare And Wonderful Day 1 comment

It’s one of the rarest things in sales.

2005. When renting space in a hotel lobby – and not getting thanked – was something I did.

Today, I received a handwritten thank you note from a client … because I did my job. She wanted ads to run, and I made that happen. And I was paid to do that … it is what an ad salesperson does, after all.

So the ads ran, and the client was happy. She took the time to write a note and mail it to me at my home.

I’ve been selling stuff since I was 22. I’ve done door-to-door, briefly. I’ve done big ticket out-of-the-box promotional sales. I’ve had people give me money to put their logo on a roller coaster.

I know sales.

To be thanked by a client, just for doing your job? That’s a rare and wonderful thing.

Black And White

In his farewell address to the American people given in January 1953, President Truman referred to this concept very specifically in asserting that, "The President--whoever he is--has to decide. He can't pass the buck to anybody. No one else can do the deciding for him. That's his job."
