Something to remind you of the basic sales tenents we talk about a lot.
Get one of these for yourself and keep it close. Cafe Press charges quite a bit for these but they do print and ship 'em to you for the price. Pretty cool. We didn't put much of a margin on 'em so you can justify getting a couple of these for your salespeople, too.
We'll try and add a few things regularly as we think of them, and we put a link to each of them here, but we'll send you over to CafePress to purchase — that's what they do best! Enjoy! And good selling!

You must make it exciting and uplifting and fun! You must entertain them....keep this mug on your desk to remind yourself
every day! Item |

That's a small part of what we do.... |

"In Front of Every Art Gallery, There is a Bottomless Pit Into Which Customers Fall On Their Way Home to 'Think it Over'"A little framed print to put up in the bathroom. Helps us to remember that our window of opportunity
with our customers is very narrow and temporary. |
