10/11/2024-On This Day, SNL was born

It is said laughter is a potent tonic, and nothing is more true for sellers constantly running hot. Intensity and focus are good, but so too is a good belly laugh… for you and your customers.

On this day in 1975, Saturday Night Live debuted and has aired almost 1k episodes since its debut, making it one of the longest-running network TV programs in the U.S.

Why is this important to you, funny sales pro?

SNL reminds us that everyone loves to laugh. Especially those who keep their guard up…like buyers.

You may not be a Ready for Prime Time Player, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to make your buyers laugh.

It’s not all about telling jokes…focus on turning up the lightness in your world.

Today, laugh. Especially at yourself. While you’re at it, try making your customers laugh too.

YouTube some favorite funny movie clips, stand-up comics, or SNL vignettes…and get your abs quivering.

And then, send a few links to your customers. And why not send something funny to that Chris guy on your enablement team (who sometimes ticks you off)?

You’re not just a solution-providing top seller, you’re a charismatic energy-maker.

Today, curl your lips and try to get others to do the same.

It’s impossible to pick just one quintessential SNL skit to celebrate their birthday. (Certainly, you have your favorite scenes and characters!)

But given MySalesDay’s continual attempt to pump you up, why not check in with motivational speaker Matt Foley (Chris Farley…of course); he’ll fire you up without a doubt.
