Sales 101, Not Zen

 Mirroring. That's a fundamental of sales. The prospect is mellow, you tone down the energy. The prospect is high energy, you turn up the vibes. The same applies to word choice, mode of dress, any small talk on politics and more. Follow the lead. But not so closely as to come across as cartoonish.

However, in doing tarot readings with those unemployed too long, overall I have to guide lowering the vibes. As this Reddit post confirms:

"When you are overly enthusiastic some people read that as desperate or fake and reject you."

That's the way it is. Yes, meditate to calm down, get back your confidence. 

Of course, the same applies to romance. Intensity of emotion can be perceived as desperation or that you're up to some kind of con.

You have to get it, especially in this crazy labor market: Everything is situational. You can't script before you're in there reading the room. 

In that same Reddit post, this job searcher wonders if there is a form of zen or detachment involved in the most effective interviewing. The interviewer was older, laid-back. The applicant relaxed, went off the bullet points and engaged. They moved on to the final interview stage.

However, those responding to the post warn not to generalize a detached style as the preferred one. A bit of a Zen mindset can improve the ability to size up the dynamics in the interview process. But, forget a monk-like approach as a universal model.

Several years ago, a lawyer knocked out of the partner path came to me for a tarot reading. His performance reviews had been excellent. With pride, he explained how he approached assignments like a monk from the middle ages. That, of course, was the source of his failure. The firm, like all law firms which are determined to grow, was in the market for a partner whose work was not only top-drawer but who had the energy, drive and interpersonal skills to develop new business. 

Takeaway: There is no one winning interactional style. Avoid over-rehearsing. Yes, taking a sales/marketing course could be in the cards. 

You deserve success, deep connections and inner peace.

Career Shift - Letting Go of "Who You Used to Be"

Image
  Those "B" movies got it all wrong. The Death Card in the tarot isn't a message about death. It signals something new will be happening. The raised horse's foot indicates that's what you're moving toward. And it'll be occurring soon.  But, as in all the tarot cards, the dynamic is about letting go of what has been. When it involves a necessary career shift that means leaving behind who you used to. Otherwise, the transformation can't take place. There's plenty of truth in the old cliche: One door has to close for a new one to open. Usually professionals coming in for a tarot reading are in extreme pain. Their former way of making a living is collapsing. Or has collapsed. Yet, they lead in with a detailed round-up of what that was all about. Their former achievements. Their former daily routine. The sacrifices they had made. Gently, I re-direct the session to how they can leverage the past into a fresh approach for putting together a livelihood. Mo...

The Scenic Route and Other Pivots Away from Efficiency

Image
  Several   years from now will the new cultural power structure be laughing hilariously at Meta, VW and more which boasted how efficient they are and how more efficient they would become.  Actually, even in its heyday - that is right now - the efficiency mandate seemed comically overwrought. The ethos reminds us of all those back-seat drivers who insisted Route A was the most efficient. Verboten was taking the scenic one that treated us to the serene snippets of cows and horses grazing, ghost towns and general stores.  In the tarot the anti-efficiency card is The Chariot. The journey is being determined by natural contours. Yeah, let it be. Don't hold tight to the reins.  The biggest successes in my career emerged when I was off the efficiency game. Beyond burnt out to deep fried, I had left methodically chasing revenue through ghostwriting/speechwriting. I fell into dabbling in blogging, often staying up all night playing around in that new medium in 2004....

New York Metro Area in the 1950s: Growing Up Like Jeffrey Epstein (but we didn't become monsters)

Image
  If you were young in the 1950s, lower middle class (or even lower) and based in the New York Metro area you probably grew up much like Jeffrey Epstein.  Today The New York Times captures the details of how it was for all of us back then. And, as the entries from his pals from those days for his 50th Birthday Book testify, there was (and is) great nostalgia for how it was. Essentially the defining characteristic of that unique childhood and our teenage years was this, reports the NYT: "the unwatched way they grew up."  Families were too overwhelmed financially surviving to supervise us.  The Catholics among us had too many kids to seem to be able to keep track of the ever-increasing number.  And the recent immigrants were preoccupied with chaos within the home such as drinking problems.  My gallows humor years later was that if my sisters and I hadn't come home for several days no one would even notice.  Unwatched by adults, we were formed by our frie...
