Coffee Break Wisdom: the Worst Case
February 26, 2017I have a friend who is a very successful insurance salesman. One day when I asked her the secret of success, she told me the following story.
She took a training and the trainer asked a salesman trainee to imagine that he is standing outside a potential client’s house.
Trainer: “Can you tell me where you are now?”
Salesman: “I am standing outside the door of a house.”
Trainer: “Well, then, what is the next thing you want to do?”
Salesman: “I want to enter the house and sell the insurance products to the house owner.”
Trainer: “After you enter the house, What do you think the worst case will be?”
Salesman: “The worst case is probably the owner will drive me away.”
Trainer: “So, where will you stand after you are driven away?”
Salesman: “I will stand outside the door of the house.”
Trainer: “Well, that’s the place where you are standing now. Returning to the origin is the worst case when you try to sell your products to clients, then what are you fearing about? ”
Little philosophy: As long as there is 1% hope, you should do 100% effort. The worst case is to return to the original place, you won’t lose anything, on the contrary, you will gain a lot of work experience and life experience, everything is just from scratch again.
Coffee Break Wisdom is short stories of wisdom and humor that make you think and smile.
