the last one is great!

immediately take the words back...
or that you could crawl into a hole?
Here are the Testimonials of a few people who did....
FIRST TESTIMONY:
I walked into a hair salon with my husband and three kids
in tow
and asked loudly,
'How much do you charge for a shampoo and a blow
job?'
I turned around and walked back out and never went back
My husband didn't say a word...…

Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House.
One is from Chicago, another is from Tennessee, and the third is from Minnesota. All three go with a White House official to examine the fence.The Minnesota contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil.
"Well," he says, "I figure the job will run about $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me.

Reach Out and Touch Someone, Even Years Later!
We meet so many people over the course of our lifetime, and forge so many varied relationships with them, that when we try to recall even a fraction of the faces and names we've learned, we fail. But all of us have a special catalogue deep in our memories, set aside for that special list of truly close friends that we will never forget. These people resonate with us nearly as strongly years after we last laid eyes on them as they did when we were…

An old prospector……
An old prospector shuffled into town leading an old tired mule. The old man headed straight for the only saloon in town to clear his parched throat. He walked up to the saloon and tied his old mule to the hitch rail.
As he stood there brushing some of the dust from his face and clothes, a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other. The young gunslinger looked at the old man and laughed, saying, 'Hey old man, have y…

Some people are just connectable. I happen to be one of them. I like meeting people; I like helping people and I’m not afraid to ask others for help. There’s not room for a big ego when it comes to sales success.

“If I don’t have it, you don’t want it.” This was spoken by a fellow attendee at the eWomen’s Network meeting today.
Isn’t that terrific to be so sure of your product offering to say, if I don’t have it, you don’t want it. Man that’s powerful.
There are a lot of ways to respond to a customer that says they want a lower price, a different grade, or somehow they seek something that you know to be inferior to what you provide. You have a choice. You can match price, but that’s no sign of customer…
