17 yr old uber salesman

A hitch passenger attempted to convince me to join their company. Instead, she was counselled how to sell better from someone who has not joined a professional sales compny but perhaps learned a trick or two on human behavior and psychology…

Heres what I’ve imparted…

1. Ask rather than tell. Be interested in people.
2. Stop mentioning about nationality
3. Be likeable and be genuine and. Authentic. 
4. People buy on feelings and justify on rationality

Kingsmen

I just found out that any gentleman, (corporate, businessman, ordinary joe) need to have at least the following suits in their lifetime. This is from my researching how many does a man need to own in his lifetime.

After getting my custom made black suit for an upcoming wedding in Melbourne, I now am toying to invest in these 3 suit combination.

1. Tuxedo – for very special occasions, weddings, birthdays, balls, charity etc.

2. Black suit – for very formal occasions, corporate, church or otherwise, this can also qualify as a tuxedo shirt !

3. Gray or Blue suit – between the two, maybe choose something which one can wear on occasions where one needs to attend but have no idea how formal is formal.

Its a worthwhile investment if not to custom fit a person. After all, ‘clothes do MAKE a man’…

Entrepreneurial Thoughts

Read profile of a company who does specialty chemicals, plastics and industrial grade packaging. Something triggered in me again. Its the entrepreneurial itch! 

Its more like a subconscious thing. Like making my own product line so that I could set up a company, let my kids grow it and expand, hopefully not sell.
I still vividly remember one quote from Lee Iacocca my idol. If someone wants to start a company he said, better make one. And dont get into services.
