Do we ask the right questions?

Once I was buying self-development books from the platform near Chennai Railway station. I picked up few books on selling skills and told the platform vendor " don't over charge me, I regularly buy the books from the same shop" The shopkeeper was a young boy who was hardly 16 years old.

The young boy told " sir could you repeat what you said" with a doubtful voice I said" don't overcharge me I buy books in your shop regularly ", the boy said " if I would have overcharged you, do you think you would have been my regular customer.


These words are still ringing in my mind and I narrate this incident in all my sales training programs. Great sales lesson learnt on the platform.

  Being Jaby is being a fine human being.   L&D Global Chennai Chapter was instrumental in bringing Jaby closer to my heart, our journey was not too long, but it was filled with fun, humour, joy and learning too. When Jaby was present, dullness was absent. He filled the hall with his sense of humour, and his thoughts were deep-rooted in bringing the best out of every human. Jaby was the most admired person in any forum; when Jaby picked the mic, the audience pulled themselves to the edge of the chair. Jaby was casual in his appearance, but he was a thorough professional everywhere. During COVID, if there was one person whom I counted on to help people, it was Jaby; his car was filled with masks, sanitizer and an oxygen concentrator. His social bent of mind made him a good Samaritan. Jaby was a curious child, whenever we both met, he was curious to improve his skills and knowledge, and his quest for development was limitless.
