Well not really 'a day'. In fact it doesn't specify which day. Just "A DAY". You will get a 'thought' when there is one worth getting. Maybe I should rename the site "Try to have a thought a day" YOU CAN HAVE 'MARKETING THOUGHT A DAY' RSS FEEDBLITZ EMAILED TO YOU BY VISITING WWW.MICHAELKIELYMARKETING.COM.AU AND SIGNING ON FOR THE SERVICE. (Not every day, thought. You won't ready them all.)

Silence is golden

Hello,

Sometimes it's what you don't say that secures the sale.

When you've delivered your pitch, said all you set out to say, and asked for the order... SHUT UP AND WAIT FOR A RESPONSE.

If you talk some more, you lose. You break the moment of drama that your presentation has been leading twoards. You let the pressure down; give the prospect a break in the traffic to scurry away, with a 'we'll think about it.."

You simply must resist keeping on selling when it's their turn to speak.

Remember: SHUT UP.
