			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dante Culpepper retired today from the NFL. His notice was sent by email and it&#8217;s has some fascinating wording in which is embedded a great selling lesson&#8230;</p>
<p><em>&#8220;I have been strongly encouraged from family, friends and league personnel to continue to be patient and wait for an inevitable injury to one of the starting quarterbacks in the league.</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;I would rather shut the door to such &#8216;opportunity&#8217; than continue to wait for one of my fellow quarterbacks to suffer a serious injury. Since I was not given a fair chance to come in and compete for a job, I would rather move on and win in other arenas of life.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>There&#8217;s a nice image &#8211; as soon as a competitor of mine has some traumatic disaster land on him the size of a 377 pound lineman, I get my turn.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s your thought, sales pro &#8211; WHY WAIT? WHY WAIT FOR SOMETHING GOOD OR BAD OR INTERESTING TO HAPPEN. Just move on with your life. You know all those prospects who&#8217;ve been hanging you out to dry for months and months and more?</p>
<p><strong>Move on. </strong>If you can&#8217;t help someone else make a decision, you can&#8217;t help them at all.</p>
<p><strong>Move on.</strong> Your time is precious and you respect yourself when you treasure time enough to make decisions based on this truism.</p>
<p><strong>Move on.</strong> There are great opportunities awaiting your attention.</p>
<p>Good luck Dante, we&#8217;ll be watching to see where your toughness and talent get you more success and new adventures.</p>
<p>And reps, start thinking about every situation you&#8217;re in and whether you should <strong>Move on.</strong></p>
