Sec. 2 Pg. 6 - Plaindealer - Wed. June 4, 1969 I T)ke tt'oliu I I n __J i n i c Helen's case illustrates E)r. Glenn Frank's statement that the salesman is the real sparkplug of civilization. And the faster we enter the machine or computer age, the more vital is the star salesman to our "free enterprise" system. Stellar salesmen prevent a nation from ending in stagnation! Even Russia is belatedly waking up to this fact, too'. By - George VV. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE K-519: Helen M., aged 49, is a cousin of mine. Recently I rode back to Chicago with her from our Indiana farm home. We stopped at Kent land at my favorite restaurant to get our Sunday breakfast. But she didn't fill her gasoline tank there. "I always wait," she began, "till I get to the station about 7 miles farther north. ' For the attendant there not only cleans my front windshield. "But he also does the same for all thp other windows in my car. So I always wait to fill up mv tank at his station." MERCHANDISING MAGIC Please notice that Helen obtained no better gasoline nor did she receive a lower price from her favorite station. No; it was merely a little "extra" attention from the salesman which tipped the scales. And this case is a classical example of the merchandising "magic" which can make or break a retail store, as well as a doctor, lawyer or even a clergyman! The Bible prescribed the formula for this modern magic when it urged us to "go the second mile," meaning, do more than the bare essentials. Nowadays, the manufactures can usually match their rivals almost exactly regarding quality and price. So it is no longer mere engineering superiority that produces success. Instead, it is the psychology of the sales force! Which is lucky, for that still means the most important link in the entire chain of production, merchandising and credit is still the lone man or woman who "fronts" at the counter. "Dr. Crane," many worried college students have asked, "in this age of computers and machines, is there still going to be a place for the man or woman without wealth or political pull?*' ^ Yes, indeed! In fact, the more the trendtoward machines, the greater becomes the importance of that human "cog" in the entire system, namely, the salesman or "front" personality. Computers are merely mechanical accountants and bookkeepers. But it is the salesman who serves .as the vital sparkplug that moves the actual merchan- $7.7 MILLION FOR UNICEF SETS RECORD UNITED NATIONS. N.Y.--New hope for millions of children of developing countries is contained in a check for $7,773,500 held by Henry Labouisse (center), Executive Director of the United Nations Children's Fund. The record-breaking check, presented by Mrs. Guido Pantaleoni. Jr.. President of the U.S. Committee for UNICEF, includes the receipts from the 1968 Halloween collection and greeting card sales, totalling almost $2.' million over the previous year's American conirination. Witnessing the ceremony in th • office of united Nations Secretary General U Thant (lelt) are C. Lioyd Bailey, Executive Director of the U.S. Committee, and students of the UN International School, representing countries aided by UNICEF. dise or services into the channels of trade! It is thus the salesman who translate goods into cash and thereby brings in the revenues for salaries, wages, overhead, plus dividends to stockholders. And salesmanship now offers the biggest field for beating your rival firm. As Helen's example illustrates, it wasn't the octane rating of the gasoline nor a lower price that made her patronize that special gas station. No; it was the trifling psychological "plus" regarding the washed windows! "Trifles make perfection," stated Michelangelo, "but perfection is no trifle." Stellar salesmanship prevents a nation from ending in stagnation! So send for my booklet "The New Psychology of Advertising and Selling," enclosing a long stamped, return envelope, plus 20 cents.
