The caller was complaining:
"I can't sell a thing. My prospects refuse to buy. This business doesn't work."
I wish the caller could have heard himself talk. He had the "helpless victim" whine perfected.
Well, marketing isn't difficult. It's just common sense. So I told the caller:
"It's your business. You have three choices:
1. Sell something different.
2. Find different prospects to sell to.
3. Learn how to sell better.
Take your pick ... or quit."
I guess quitting could really be the fourth choice.
Anyway, the caller wanted me to change the world for him. He wanted everyone he talked with to change how they reacted to his untrained presentation.
The caller didn't want to (#1) sell something different, and he didn't want to (#2) find new prospects. That left him with option #3: Learn how to sell better. And, the caller definitely didn't want to learn how to sell better as he insisted that he keep his current presentation.
I didn't argue with the caller. How he sees his business is his business. He is in charge of the choices in his life.
While this was painful for the caller, it was quite enjoyable for me. I like it when callers learn to take personal responsibility for their lives.
And did the caller decide to "learn how to sell better" and change his future?
No.
He decided to complain to someone else. I guess you can only present solutions - not force people to take advantage of the solutions.

The reason why worry kills more people than work does - is that more people worry than work.
