IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE

Many of you may not know it, but today is one of the most important days of the year. Today is a special birthday for one of the greatest sales trainers the world has ever known (No not me) Today is Dr Seuss’s birthday

In the good doctor’s honor, I have written a “Seuss like” poem for your enjoyment.

SHLEP, THE NEW REP!

By Lorin

A new sales rep came to town

Some of the old reps started to frown

The new rep sold with lightening speed

The older reps complained of the new reps greed

You sell so much it must be luck

You sold a fence, a pool and a truck

LUCK you think is my secrete tool

You must believe I am a fool

Only a fool depends on luck

I don’t use luck to make a buck

I use skill and I love the thrill

The skill and thrill my pockets fill

I may be new but that doesn’t mean bad

It doesn’t mean poor it doesn’t mean sad

All it means is I am new

I am not as experienced as you

The tools I use you invented

The bucks I make you incented

Don’t look at us as a zero

We look at you as a hero

All l I did was follow your lead

Don’t mistake success with greed

When I used what you had done

Is when I started having fun

Your history and hard work is our past

We want to maintain it and make it last

We want your names to live on forever

So we won’t forget you, no not ever

When we go out today to sell

We know that you cleared our path through hell

We listen to the stories you tell

And only hope we can do as well

Put a smile on your face

That nasty ol frown it should replace

Your value and worth you need not defend

It is your leadership and example on which we depend

Happy birthday Dr Seuss, your memory will always be with us.
