"It was 100 percent: 'Listen Cheap NFL Jerseys , this is the team that we won with. This is the team that had the most success against right-handed pitching. This is the team we should
go with,'" Terry Collins said. "This guy has had some very, very good at-bats.
He has nothing to show for it. But, certainly, we can't put what we're doing
offensively on the shoulders of Michael Conforto. He goes up there and every
time he gets in the batter's box you think he's going to hit one in the seats.
The confidence is there from the coaches, and I totally agree with it.
"If you show panic now, it could spread in the clubhouse. And I'm not going to do that. I like our lineup. I like what they've done all year long. You go
through ups and downs. But, as we've seen, when they break out, they're good.
And tonight they need to break out."
Conforto is hitless in 19 at-bats since homering against Zack Greinke in the rookie's first postseason plate appearance in Game 2 of the NLDS.
The Mets could have started Juan Lagares in center field and moved Yoenis Cespedes over to left field.
The Salesman And The Art Of Misdirection | A Self-Improvement Article There are two common myths surrounding salespeople, one held by the public, the other
held by those within the profession itself. The first is harmless, because no
one believes it anyway; the second is harmful Cheap Jerseys From China , because many salespeople buy into it. The first myth goes something like this: salespeople are slick as oil, smooth as sin and fast as a
cardsharp. They talk rapid delivery, with one hand around your shoulders and the
other in your pocket. The only sin they are not guilty of is boredom. And of
course they can sell anything to anyone, even refrigerators to Eskimos...which
we now know is definitely not true - I mean, Eskimos don't have power points, do
they? Obviously this myth is just a myth, and everyone treats it as such. No
harm done. Now for the second myth, one that I consider quite sinister. Consider
for a moment any books you may have read about selling, or any seminars you may
have attended. They all, without exception, promulgate the myth of the modern
salesperson as hardworking, honest, a pillar of society who always has the
customer's best interests at heart. Of course he also believes in God Cheap Jerseys , helps others, does good deeds, has outstanding family values and mows the lawn every second Sunday...in short, he is
whiter-than-white, holier-than-thou, and purer than the Virgin Mary. Well, I've
been in sales for over forty years and I've yet to meet such a salesperson. I've
met some of the best and you know what?... they are all flawed, some of them
badly so. OK, you say, the myth of the "honest salesperson" is just an ideal;
something to live up to. Well, maybe; but that's not how it is presented. Listen
to the sales trainers. They will tell you, amongst other things, that the top
salespeople don't tell lies. Absurd as it may sound Cheap NFL Jerseys China , sales trainers and authors and a great many salespeople actually believe this. And it is absurd because everyone, from the Prime
Minister (especially the Prime Minister) down tells lies. 94% of British women
admit to lying (US Playboy, April, 2004, p31); the rest just told a lie. And
sales trainers are cut from the same cloth; they tell lies whenever they tell us
that good salespeople don't tell lies. Indeed sales trainers go considerably
further, and state that no matter how bad things get these "good" salespeople
just keep going, as enthusiastic as ever. You know...when the going gets tough,
the tough get going, that sort of thing. Well, I don't know where sales trainers
get these ideas from. Perhaps they move in a more rarefied orbit than I do,
because the salespeople I know are all too human; they can and do get
discouraged; they can feel negative, just like everyone else. Reading the books
and listening to the seminars, one is tempted to think that salespeople jump out
of bed first thing in the morning Cheap Authentic NFL Jerseys , eager to go off to work and help their clients. Well, that's nice. But every once in a while, or more often, even the super
salesperson has to drag herself out of bed, with the client's bests interests
the absolute furthest thing from her mind; the only "best interests" in her mind
being her own. Welcome to the real world! So let's lay the cards on the table.
No matter what books and seminars may tell you, all salespeople (and all of the
rest of us) tell lies. Now that's disgraceful, I know. But what is infinitely
worse is when a salesperson (and anyone else) does lie, and then pretends he
didn't. In other words, when he goes out and lies - and oh! he will - he will
then bend over backwards, twist sideways and turn himself inside out, to justify
himself. And that's the worst lie of all. That's where the real damage is done -
pretending or believing that one didn't lie. This in the East is called
delusion. In the West it is called a...well, we don't really have a word for it.
I guess we could call it telling lies about lies. I call it living a lie - as
opposed to merely telling one. Whatever you want to call it, lying to oneself is
no way to excellence in selling Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys , or anything else for that matter. Why? Because if you buy into that I-don't-tell-lies set of morals, you find you have to justify yourself
every time you do tell a lie. And that's just dead weight. You are better off
without it. The old adage, know thyself, holds just as true in selling as it
does in every other endeavour. It means to know yourself, lies, kinks and all.
There is much talk in sales circles about knowing your client, and that's all
right, I suppose. At least it won't hurt. But you can dispense with that,
because if you know yourself, you will know your client. Conversely, if you
don't know yo.
