Fresh out of college,Joe accepted a high-paying but demanding sales position with enthusiasm.A physical education major,Joe planned to be a high school football coach but could not find a suitable coaching position in the geographical area of his choice; so he turned to sales.
Big,handsome and something of a free spirit,Joe has no fear of people or situations.He speaks up quickly,has considerable self-confidence and is meticulous about his appearance.With his energy and personality,Joe is easy to like.Best of all,Joe does not give up easily.His athletic training taught him that you never give up until the game is over.On top of all this,Joe has natural leadership ability.In his senior year he was,among other things,captain of the defensive football team.
During his two-week sales training,it became obvious that Joe did not always take selling techniques seriously.Somehow,he felt he didn’t need to learn how to play the game because his personality would see him through.In group training sessions,and when he was assigned to a professional salesperson to gain experience with live prospects,Joe appeared to be listening.Later,however,when he had an opportunity to demonstrate what he had learned,he relied on his own ideas.In those instances,when Joe was permitted to approach a prospect on his own,he did most of the talking and did not make a serious attempt to understand the prospect’s point of view.Despite his poor listening skill,everyone in the firm (especially fellow sales trainees) likes Joe,and many feel he is a natural salesperson.Most predict early success for Joe.
