3 Sales Commandments for new hires?

Hello you beautiful creatures,


My org is growing and were bringing on my sales reps. We've been having internal discussions (internal = sales team drinks beer for "Training") and we came to the topic of 3 commandments each rep lives by and wants others to incorporate.

I want to know what you savages have for your top 3.

Mine are as follow:

1) Thou shall always cold call and eat the rejection.

2) A phone call is better and more beneficial than an email.

3) Money first, Beer second, Golfing with prospects third.

1) Thou shall listen twice as much as they speak. You have two ears and one mouth for just such a purpose.

2) Thou shall assume all deals will fall through and prioritize their pipeline at all times. A bountiful pipeline shall ensure a sustaining harvest even in times of a sales drought.

3) Thou shall prospect one's own deals. A hunted meal is twice as filling as one that is given freely.

Verily I say unto you. In order for a man to find himself in everlasting abundance, he must first learn the importance of pipeline.

For if a man is to neglect his pipeline he shall be thrust down into the darkness of the PIP where there will be a weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth.

And great will be the pain thereof for a salesman on PIP can only redeem himself through a rapid growth of pipeline and healthy forecast. Thus saith the CEO. Amen.
