Two representative of BATA were sent to Pakistan to explore the market. Both of them saw people all over the area are bare footed. One representative sent a mail to his boss saying that he is returning because no one will buy the shoes because walking barefoot is their culture and belief. The other representative sent a mail to his boss saying that please send one truck load of shoes
because no one in Pakistan wears shoes.

Then the trainer stops and go with his commentary "See the
second man's positive attitude! This how you should train your mind. Be positive, dream high, work hard."

This must be 100 year old story being inherited generation after generation.

Jai ho India!

The complacent nature of Indians was discovered by Mahatma Gandhi, which I came to know from the book Count your Chickens before they hatch' by Arindam Choudari.
Later Americans mastered it. Yet Indians has not learned it!

I am not trying to make a joke of the trainers.

My tenure in AVERY INDIA taught me this principle very hard way. The only other people I salute as successful sales men are from EurekaFobes. I swear, they were great!
