Nigel's Dream Team: A Sales Tale!

It had been a busy morning in the office. Nigel had put together a rather long report and statistical analysis for this week’s sales meeting. He stopped whilst looking at the empty desks around him. And then he realized Duncan, the new telesales executive was having another conversation with himself, and this time it looked serious. Great!

Nigel relaxed and closed his eyes. As he began to doze off, he sunk deeper into his padded executive chair. He felt his neck relax as he slumbered off into sleepy land.

Suddenly, Nigel was not in his office, but in a room full of proactive salespeople!

They picked up calls within three rings and were so, well, proactive! And they knew how to communicate! As Nigel listened to the conversations around the room, he knew he was dreaming. Open questions, Excel spreadsheets being filled in, and the CRM system was totally up to date! Surely, he had traveled to sales office heaven, not the offices of Pratts Plumb and Gooseberry Conserve, Norfolk Keys.

Nigel thought about the jams he had recently found himself in. Well, not literally.

He seemed to be in an in-between land of deep sleep and waking when he felt something…a peculiar feeling, spreading down his leg.

And then he woke up and realized he had dropped his mug of spiced banana double fluffy, cream cup coffee!

Nigel stood up and grabbed his phone. It was lunchtime. Time to go for a walk and find a recruitment specialist. It was time for Nigel’s dream team to materialize…

Well, what a lovely little story to lighten up your day!

T & G Table Mincers Ltd: Episode Five Hong Kong & Marketing Outcomes!

Published 28th April 2023 www.tsrn.co.uk Oh, what a week it has been! We have traveled from Harrow almost on the hill to hot sticky memories within the forests of Rangoon. Yes, it has been fun traveling back and forth to 1956. You might be asking yourself. Why, Sonya, why? And I am going to answer…… I don’t know. Anyhow, let us catch up with Toni, Geoff, and Brenda one last time this week and see how the trip to Hong Kong turned out. “It’s full, it’s so full, I couldn’t fit any more in Geoff “announced Toni as he placed his bulging order book down on Geoff’s desk. (The William Morris Trellis cover glowing in the morning sun beaming in through the art deco black lacquered windows) “Aw, and you should have seen the Shek Pik Valley, it was a triumph! All flowers and fauna. The Pekingese would have loved it you know. And Brenda, I mean Lorretta of the mincing word came alive from our brochures. Standing out like a lighthouse on a misty night at sea off the Cornish coast. Oh yes, I t...

T & G Table Mincers Ltd: Episode Three! Not the Road to Mandalay: Being Bold!

Published 26th April 2023 www.tsrn.co.uk/news/ Today we are going to think about what being bold in business means. So, pull up your padded office chair, grab a freshly percolated coffee, and let me take you back to 1956 when being bold could sometimes cause you all sorts of problems! Brenda was exhausted and had just arrived at her sales meeting with Toni and Geoff. She had spent the last months traveling and was glad to be back in Northolt, West London with her parents. She had nattered her way around Great Britain and sold eighty-two and a half table mincers and five burlesque, I mean perlesque toned slicing and dicing machines. Also, five hundred silver-plated tablespoons with a picture of Gregory Peck embellished on every single one! Brenda’s sales trip had been a success! “It’s mother,” Brenda anxiously said “She caught our neighbor’s daughters peaking at my new undergarments on the washing line through the hedge. She said that I’m an embarrassment! Then, she said, I’v...

Macrame Mayhem: Recruitment. Today’s moving tale will strike a chord with anyone who has turned their passion into a successful business. Gosh, there is even a television series where crafty people can gain help from others who have made it to the top. Somewhere out there today, there will be someone in that in-between stage. They may have so many orders that they cannot keep up. Monica and Gavin had been at it all night. A large order had come in a couple of days ago for two hundred of their special beaded plant hangers for large ferns. Fingers sore and struggling to keep up, Gavin placed the last one in the box and put the documentation inside. Then firmly sealed the flaps down with tape. “This hobby of yours has got out of hand,” he said, as he printed the address label, took a set square, and stuck it perfectly in place. He took a deep breath and then turned to his wife. “ I think we’ve reached that point,” he added. Monica also took a deep breath and looked over at her husband. He...
