The Productive Seller is all about helping you to add value to your sales interactions, whether it’s the latest Sales 2.0 thinking (post coming this week), or helping you cope with sales burnout (next couple of weeks).

For now though, it’s about making you laugh with a story from Ian Brodie’s great Sales Excellence blog about how not to treat your loyal customers at anytime, let alone in a recession.

They certainly made a difference to Ian’s day!

Nobody panic! I haven’t joined a crazy cult or fallen into balmy memories of summers at scout camp. What roused me was an article from the New York Times on the sales profession.

What I thought is that I would love to hear how your sales has made a genuine difference.  Why not share your funny or inspiring sales or customer stories with other productive sales people in our comments section below this post. Whatever your sales anecdote, whether sad, motivational or just plain silly – we’re not just looking for sales productivity yarns here – let the rest of us enjoy it.

Here’s to making a difference to the World, even if it is just one customer at a time!

P.S. I will choose the best ones and they will be included in a special post later in the year.  Please include a brief bio and a link to your blog/site in the last paragraph.
