On the front page of this issue is a
picture of Brother Pat Patek (Lodge
88), his wife, Rose, daughter, parents
and members of our SPJST Supreme
Lodge submitted to us by Supreme
Lodge Legal Advisor Sidney Kacir
including a writeup. He also
submitted a letter of information to
our office and we are printing a part of
it for your information. Please read it
carefuily -- it States in part:
“Brother Pokladník and I visited
with Ladie Matula, President of KJT.
President Matula gave us a status
report on their drive for funds for the
Gzech Chair. The local lodges and
members are responding
enthusiastically to the Q;ech Chair
drive and the K JT Board will consider
the matter of the Czech Chair at their
upcoming board meeting.
Hopefully, more of the fraternals -
farm mutuals - individuals will
contribute more. If we can get a total
of $667,000 raised by the end of May
of this year, with a 50 percent match of
$333,500 from the chosen university,
we will háve the chair funded for
$1,000,500 which should produce over
$80,000 per year for the good of Czech
language culture and heritage.
We look forward to working with
you at the Czech Educational
Foundation of Texas meeting
Saturday, March 17 at the SPJST Halí
in Caldwell. If Mr. Patek is near the
area, we hope that he and his family
can attend -- they know they are
always welcome and their ideas and
suggestions are always welcome.”
Now, fellow members and readers:
It is up to all of us to make the
continued efforťto reach our goal. Let
us all make that extra effort. With
good will, there is NOTHING:
impossible! Send your donations, no
matter how Iarge or smáli to:

All men, no matter how big, make
mistakes. But history teaches us that
big men re fuse to falter because of
their mistakes. Henry Ford forgot to
put a reverse gear in his first
automobile. Edison once spent over
two million dollars on an invention
which proved of little value. The man
who makes no mistakes lacks boldness
and the spirit of adventure. He is the
one who never tries anything new; he is
the brake on the wheel of progress.
Remember, a mistake becomes an
error only when nothing is doně to
correctit!
***
Speaking of looking forward,
someone once mentioned, never look
back because you don’t know who will
be gaining on you. Certainly we must
look forward; we must continually
advance with new concepts and ideas
and our eyes always fixed on new
horizons. However, without the past
there would be no future. Therefore,
occasionally, we must look back to
check our progress, to compare our
present position with that of our
former and re - evaluate our direction.
As we look back to measure our today
against yesterday, we can see the firm
foundation upon which the SPJST
Society is based.
* As far as salesmanship is concerned,
we truly believe, “Fear attracts that
which is feared.” If you fear talking to
a prospect, your attitude reflects that
fear. If you enter a prospecťs home or
office with an attitude that is almost
apologetic, he senses your uneasiness
and usually gives you rapid relief by
terminating the interview rather
i quickly. Approach your prospect with
poise and šelf - assurance. If you are at
ease, the prospect is much more apt to
be at ease.
In most cases a prospect is seldom
interested in a product or Service
unless he has a need for it. Therefore,
to spend time telling how good your
product or Service is, is more or less a
waste of time. Savé time, Determine
the needs, and build your presentation
around the need for your Service —
and be diplomatic in doing so. Devote
your presentation to that which will
apply directly to the prospect and
prove to be of the greatest benefit to
him. A presentation can be, and
should be, made so effectively that the
prospect will almost feel that your
Service was designed especially for
him.
Procrastinaťion is one of the
greatest resistances encounted by the
sales person. However, an alert sales
person knows that the thought of
“putting it off * might be lurking in
the prospecťs mind. And he knows
that it will be up to him or her to
convince the prospect that he cannot
afford to be without his or her Service.
A sales person will make it obvious
that now is the right time to buy.
To knock a competitor is a serious
mistake and seldom helps you at all.
Usually, an “on - his - toes” sales
person backs his or her presentation
with suffícient proof to cause the
prospect to feel that his or her product
or Service is the very best, and the
leader in its field. Paying compliments
to your competitoťs product or Service
usually raises your own in the
estimation of the prospect. They
realize you are sure of yourself,
otherwise you would not — could not —
be so generous with praise for those in
the same business.
Generally speaking, a conscientious
sales person takés his or her
profession just as seriously as the
doctor or lawyer takés his or her
profession. Bearing this type of sales
person in mind, let us always consider
some of the components which help to
make up a top - notch sales person. It
takés a great deal to succeed in this
great, but competitive world of
selling.
To me, a sales person is one of the
most fascinating and rewarding
occupations on earth -- IF it is
approached as a profession instead of
'a job.
There are many arguments in favor
of almost any product or Service, but
usually there is at least one
outstanding or dominant appeal. A
good sales person will build on the
dominant and make all others
subordinate toit. Intransportation, for
example, speed is the dominant
appeal for the airlines. Comfort is
played up by the railroads and
economyby the bus companies. When
selecting a dominant appeal, také the
feature which is speciál and cannot be
duplicated by a competitor. Playing up
the dominant features will also make it
difficult for competition to undermine
you.
