What do you want for Christmas?

Dear Santa,

How are the reindeer and the elves? I’m sure they are very busy preparing for the big trip on December 24th.

I have been a very good salesperson this year. I have picked up a few new clients, grown many of my clients’ sales and I’m close to achieving my yearly sales goal! Sometimes, I do forget to submit my sales reports on time – but I eventually get them in… and if I don’t, it’s because I’m too busy trying to increase sales.

This year for Christmas, there’s only a few things I would like:
  • Prospects and clients who return my calls
  • A new assistant who will do everything for me so I can spend all my time increasing sales.
  • The new Blackberry “Curve” to track all my client activities, schedule and contacts. I know I can be more organized if I have the right tools.
  • A direct mail campaign generating 42.8% response rate and over $100,000 in new business
  • If you are really generous and have room in your sleigh, a million dollar client would be really great, too!
I’ll leave out a Tim Hortons’ coffee for you on December 24th – they always help to get me through a busy day on the road.

Love,
A Hardworking Salesperson

P.S. If Santa doesn’t bring you any of the items on your list, the Teneo Elves are here to help!
