Your technique bites!

Boiler room stockbroker boss to me; “Always ask if they want 500 shares or just 300.”

I’ll take 300 of Berkshire Hathaway A.

Who’s the dog in the tan hat?

Better not ask Nate or you might get a punch in the nose!!!

Good morning Crew!

This is truth in advertising. True, asking for it is the mark of making a sale. But, what you ask for is what the customer would want. In this case the shark should ask, “Hey, would you like to jump in the water and get the experience of your life?” And the customer would get a great experience in fighting for their life.

Who’s the dog/cat/alien in panel 2?

And without the green shirt

Sorry, shark, nobody wants to be your lunch today.

Wrong. You never ask for the sale, you use an assumptive close, such as: “Let’s go ahead and have you jump in.”

No, but here, talk to my friend, Mr. Grenade…

No, but I have a pod of friends over there who would just love to have you for lunch.

Well, at least the shark didn’t ask the same individual three times. But still, c’mon. Our heroes didn’t just fall off the turnip truck …

’Evening, Crew.

You dont get the sale if you are selling death by shark bite.

Good evening, Crew!
