The 4 Immeasurable that Get Heads Nodding

In our Sales Power (more at here) and other sales and marketing courses, we teach people not to sell their product, its advantages and even the benefits it will accrue to the user.  For all these things are measurable, but in life it is the immeasurable that will get heads nodding.

The 4 Immeasurable are:
  1. Hidden Potential.  Everyone has some hidden potential inside them, and the goal of the salesperson is to harness this potential.  It could like in the prospect's production capability, and by investing in the machine that you are promoting, they can reach their potential faster and easier.
  2. Achieve Dreams.  If you can dream it, you can make it.  A good salesperson talks about his prospect's aspirations and dreams and let them know that they too can realize their dreams.  Note that this may have nothing to do with what you are selling, but it surely touches their hearts.  When you can touch somebody's hearts, it is limitless what you can do.
  3. Love and Concern.  A good salesperson genuinely cares for his prospects whether they buy or not.  He loves them with his heart, and the best way to express his love is to serve them well, before and after the sale.  
  4. Happy Now.  They say Singapore workers are 'under happy', that means that happiness is a cherished goal.  Salespeople must make people happy NOW, and the best way to do so is to be happy themselves and help their prospects to be happy with what they have now.  Only then can the salesperson show them how to be even more happier when they become his client.

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Have You Found Your Sun Yi and Teresa Teng?

I n the long, unfolding history of the Chinese-language music scene, "The Moon Represents My Heart" 月亮代表我的心 stands as an unsurpassable milestone. Yet, the journey of this globally renowned masterpiece, a song that would eventually captivate the world, was fraught with setbacks: it was once dismissed as "trash" by its own creator and tossed into a wastebasket, later suppressed by official policy as a "banned song ," and initially failed to gain any traction when performed by two different singers. The dramatic turnaround in this song’s fate is not merely a musical legend; it offers a profound life lesson: the greatest stroke of luck in life is not about how perfect you are, but about encountering the "right people", those who truly understand you, support you, and help you realize your potential, at exactly the right moment. I. The First "Right Person": A "Talent Scout" Who Recognizes Your Worth In the early 1970s, composer T...
