&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;In my estimation, however, it is the commitment to the pursuit of a goal that trumps everything.  One who has the desire of success burning inside of them, will have superior results to those who rely on a system or a collection of systems.  That being said, those who have the desire will seek out and conquer new techniques to get them to the top.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;If you stuck a gun to my head, I would say using one system to the fullest extent would be your best bet.  Simplicity can be very nice indeed.  It is when we are bouncing all over the place that things go off course.  However, the judgment and creativity that a good salesperson develops should never be check at the door.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Thanks for you comment...&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Will Fultz</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7909694753333773993/1562196199941570667/comments/default/3456548353208309996'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7909694753333773993/1562196199941570667/comments/default/3456548353208309996'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.topsalesblog.com/2008/12/price-discounting-will-force-you-to.html?showComment=1232066280000#c3456548353208309996' title=''/><author><name>From the Author:  Will Fultz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07284433640879475562</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_Rzc_P7yVjNg/SGY4Vt2FdUI/AAAAAAAAAAM/zwSwtu_tzRw/S220/perrysmallpic.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.topsalesblog.com/2008/12/price-discounting-will-force-you-to.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7909694753333773993.post-1562196199941570667' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7909694753333773993/posts/default/1562196199941570667' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1699327129'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7909694753333773993.post-4573245293613253208</id><published>2009-01-15T15:19:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-01-15T15:19:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Karl certainly does have some great contributions ...</title><content type='html'>Karl certainly does have some great contributions to make. Sales Gravy, (another Karl contributes to) and Sales Caffeine (Jeffrey Gitomer) are also blogs I've been looking onto.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Solid blog here too from what I've seen thus far. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The only question I'd like to ask would be the extent to which one should hold to a particular system (or systems) for selling. To lay my cards on the table, my current attitude prevails that if you take time to master one, you'll be more successful. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Others I'm sure will say many different things. I don't expect there will be a lot of people committing themselves on this on though... or will there? :)</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7909694753333773993/1562196199941570667/comments/default/4573245293613253208'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7909694753333773993/1562196199941570667/comments/default/4573245293613253208'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.topsalesblog.com/2008/12/price-discounting-will-force-you-to.html?showComment=1232050740000#c4573245293613253208' title=''/><author><name>Shaun</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09626495761124155405</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.topsalesblog.com/2008/12/price-discounting-will-force-you-to.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7909694753333773993.post-1562196199941570667' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7909694753333773993/posts/default/1562196199941570667' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1726909404'/></entry></feed>
