Default I don't ...

To be quite frank with you, I have never tried to “motivate” any of my sales people (dealers, associates, whatever). I always figured that those individuals who were “real” would take the bull by the horns and make the sales to make the money, because ...

In the words of Andrew Carnegie:

"There is no use whatever trying to help people who do not help themselves. You cannot push anyone up a ladder unless he be willing to climb himself."

Beyond that, as Frank Tibolt said:

"We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action."

Rather than wasting my time trying to "motivate" people, I have always spent my time supporting the efforts of those who were doing something.

Just do it ...
