The Wolf of Wall Street in the Real Print World. Part 2
Sell me this penPart 1 can be seen here
3 videos can be seen in this article and 2 more can be seen at the bottom of the home page of this site
Let’s look at some simple sales frameworks.
- Gather information. So how do you go about that?
You want to understand what kind of person you are selling to. How will they will use your pen? If they are in management, they probably sign important documents.
Listening to them will give you background and hints as to how to most effectively persuade them to buy your pen. - Respond to the information by identifying their need for the pen and the fact that an unmemorable pen used on a memorable document could hamper thinking. What would happen if they didn’t have a pen? You need to identify their pain.
- Deliver information on your pen. Show the importance of using your pen to their job position. Highlight the benefits of your pen, the fact that it has blue ink which distinguishes the original from a copy
- Hand back the pen telling them that they can keep the pen for a week and you will call back next Friday, at which stage they can place an order or give you back the pen.

The Wolf of Wall Street in the Real Print World. Part 1
Sell me this pen
Part II can be read here complete with videos.
If you have ever interviewed for a job as either the interviewer or the interviewee, you may have come across this statement. You can also see it in the film “The Wolf of Wall Street”.
Assume you are the managing director or sales manager of your company and you want to test the sales ability of your sales people at the next meeting. Take a pen from your pocket and ask one of them to sell it to you. I would be surprised if any of them will be able to sell it to you. If one can’t do it, move to the next and the next. Move fast and they have to think fast.

Government Organisations see
less urgency to adapt to technology-led change.
Carsten Bruhn executive vice president Ricoh EuropeTwo thirds of Government executives acknowledge that their organisation needs to change faster over next three years to keep up with changing business conditions - but just 27 per cent feel significant or extreme pressure to adapt to the rapid change required. In addition 55 per cent are expecting slight or no technology-led disruption over the next three years, compared to just 29 per cent of business executives across all sectors. This lack of urgency and minimal perceived pressure among government leaders to change is revealed in a study called The Challenge of Speed, conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit and sponsored by Ricoh.
