New Car Sales
I recently purchased a new car a few days ago and if you've ever purchased one you know the feeling. As soon as I hit the front door a sales guy greeted me and was ready to talk. Extremely attentive, lots of questions, eager to help I have to say I respected his ambition. I tried to set the tone by clearly iterating that I had no intentions on buying today and I plan to go to a few places before I decide. Reality is I don't have the kind of patience to shop around feverishly.
Since it was extremely cold outside I was literally one of two customers there that evening, I realized how dire it must be for car salespeople to find customers. So I began to wonder how would I do my job differently if I were paid of commission. What if I had to hit a desired outcome every month in order to keep my job. I mean I do today but it's not as defined as a car salesman.
Here's what I plan to do, the next time I have to create a report or presentation I'm going to envision it as if I'm selling a new car. What would you be like if you did the same?

Good way of putting it. That makes one put their job in a different perspective. For me, I TRY to work to give glory to God. I must admit though, it is hard sometimes when you work in an environment that doesn't produce great morale, lack of leadership, and a divide and conquer environment due to leadership. So how does one come to work with the "can do" attitude or what you proposed above? I guess it is all about the attitude and what you get out of it.
I will try your approach and see what happens. At least, I can make this out of a game. Might even get something out of this as I try to do this daily at the jay-oh-bee!
Thanks for, yet, another wonderful submission that makes ya go "hmmmm".
