YOHOisms
The customer is not always right – but don’t tell them!
Asking the right questions is more valuable than knowing all the answers.
People won’t lose interest when they’re talking.
If you’re gonna lose – lose early!
Perception is reality even when it’s not.
Don’t confuse great service with unconditional submission.
Knowledge isn't power without action!
Arrogance and ignorance are life’s deadliest combination.
Consequences build character.
Negotiation begins at the moment of first contact.
The party who knows the most about the other
has the power to control the conversation.
The difference between a presentation and a recommendation
is an examination.
The most difficult parties to reach are often the easiest to sell.
If someone doesn’t believe you care, the result’s the same as if you didn’t.
