In the sales business there is a famous close called the Ben Franklin! It goes like this: Ben Franklin was a very wise man and one of the founding fathers of this great country! His wisdom is legendary! He had a very unique decision maklng process, and I would like to share it with you! When old Ben had an important decision to make he would take a piece of paper and draw a line straight down the middle. On one side he would list reasons for deciding one way, On the other side he would list reasons for going the other way! When he finished he had a very clear understanding of the pros and cons! With this clear understanding came a clear answer! This has worked many years for many people and it will work for you!
