In order to get away from their high-stress jobs, a professional insurance sales power couple, started to just relax on
weekends in their motor home at their favorite campsite. When they found their peace and quiet
disturbed by well-meaning, but unwelcome, visits from other campers,
they devised a plan to assure themselves some privacy.
Now, when they set up camp, they place this sign on the door of their RV:
"Insurance agents. Ask about our term-life package."
Moral of the story. True sales professionals know that in order to succeed at sales it's important to relax and unwind on weekends. No one can operate efficiently 24 X 7. So buy yourself some burnout insurance the only way you can! Just get away this weekend. Chill out and relax!!!
"It's a funny thing - when I'm crazed with work, spending time with my children relaxes me. Yet at the end of a long weekend with them, the very thing I need to relax is a little work and time away from them!" - Emily Giffin
The salesman was depressed when he got back from the doctor's office.
"What's the matter?" his wife asked.
"The doctor says I have to take one of these white pills every day for the rest of my life," replied the salesman.
"And what's so bad about that?" his wife inquired.
"He only gave me seven."
Moral of the story. True sales professionals know that everyone
only gets seven. Seven days in a week. And it's how you use all seven
that determines your success. You can't work all seven, you won't be
effective or efficient if you do that for too long. You will burn
out. Make sure that you spend your weekend taking a break from your
everyday routine. Unwind. Relax. Get some exercise. Pick up that
hobby you used to have time for, if even for only an hour. By Monday
you will be refreshed and ready to charge the business world again, head
on!

my children relaxes me. Yet, at the end of a long weekend with them,
the very thing I need to relax is a little work and some time away from
them!" - Emily Giffin
