Comments on: Shut The Hell Up Already http://www.john-carlton.com/2006/02/27/shut-the-hell-up-already/ insight, tactics, advice and mutterings on copywriting, marketing and living life deep... from the most ripped-off world-class ad writer alive...

He believes his own bull shit along with the most important ingredinat in salemanship- "supreme self confadence". Sure he comes off as a comic blow-hard but there ain't nobody better... he is a shrewd, sharp as a tac businessman. Trump is direct so direct that its refreshing... "Say what you mean...and mean what you say." This is the world of business, some cringe at his approach but he just says what other people think, but haven't the balls to speak. I guess in some part it's the New Yorker in him. I can’t see how you don’t think the “DONALD” isn’t the best old school salesman around.

That's one of the mistakes, I and I would imagine every other rookie salesman made at the beginning of our careers... Then we learned the cold hard truth of: "The first one to talk buys" Great post. Later Caleb Hi John,

You’re so right about SHUTTING UP after you’ve clearly asked for the sale.

Great post.

Read D's books! He knows how to wheel and deal in the real estate world, dominate and overpower in negotiations... and as you say... "do whatever it takes" to WIN! Hmmm... can't say I blame him. But, he sure catches a lot of heat for it. Which only further fuels his success. The thing I find funny -- like you -- is him handing out business advice. What he does in the boardroom and the way he handles that show IS NOT what real success in business is about. It's the behind the scenes grind that you would never see. Read his books (the early ones) and you see how he "really got things done." One area I respect him... his uncompromising quest to do things top shelf! That is his edge. In my opinion. Great blog post John C. Profitable "Pitbull" Regards, JP Maroney "The Pitbull of Business!"TM Yep… Read D’s books!

She not only committed the crime of yappin' when she should have been shuttin' up (not a good idea in any context), but she showed how little she knew about her target market. (Trump) He fires people for the same mistake each season. Makes the Mensa look like a real genius. ;) At least he knew when to shut up. John PS. What do you think of their advertising medium? Would you advertise by blimp?? John,
