Lessons I learned from being a Stripper and Business Automation

If my Selling Robots could talk, I think they would have a lot to say about humans and how humans could improve. If my robots could really talk, I know one of the first things I would do is turn the darn thing off, tell it to shut up, roll over and take a nap or go out and play for the day - hey, I’m human. I was built to play, not work and that is part of the problem.smcrazysalesman
GM - the automotive giant can’t blame robots for its problems.

If my robots could talk, they wouldn’t take the blame. They would be quick to tell you - it is the humans that miss managed the business and humans that made poor decisions. The automotive robots improved what humans could do and made it easier for humans to perform simple and complex tasks.

Robots and automation can help us do more in less time and we are influenced by and benefit from robotic systems and automation every day. The coffee maker turns on in the morning before we wake up to brew a fresh pot in the morning. The computer we use at work helps us automate, create and generate work that would have been impossible a few decades ago.
How My Life as a Stripper Changed with Automation

You might know that I was a stripper for many years in the printing business and I used to strip negatives on layout sheets to burn printing plates. I was a journeyman stripper in fact and my job was to perform about 8 different tasks to burn a plate for the printing press. All that changed with automation.

If I tried to compete with the technology of the Computer-To-Plate (CTP) systems of today, I would be, well - a dinosaur and my production couldn’t compare with the quality, speed and output of a CPT system. What would take me a few hours and eight steps to produce one plate, someone could push one button on their computer to produce a better, more accurate plate in a few minutes. Ahhhh - this is the power of a systematic approach to plate making.
The Amazon Proof Source

I think that if my Selling Robots could talk, they would be quick to tell us that humans are taking the salesman element out of sales. They actually have good proof for this too. Look at Amazon! Humans are making more decisions on-line and we don’t always need to speak with or interact with a human to make a purchase decision.

In the old days, well, maybe not that long ago, we needed salespeople to keep us informed about what was new. We have so much information available to us on the Internet that we can find almost anything we want online. Sure, humans can help, but because so much information is on line, people can research the decision to purchase something can be made without a salesperson involved and just push a button to order online.
Are You up to the Robot Challenge?

My Selling Robots are wondering what takes some humans so long to make a decision on hiring a Selling Robot. Do you know? When someone takes a close look at the reasoning behind sales automation, it becomes a logical choice. A Selling Robot can do about 10 times what a human can do to communicate more effectively and efficiently.

Selling is a process and when you streamline sales like you can build cars or make offset printing plates, you have the advantage. We invite you to see how a Selling Robot can make a difference in your business and give you the advantage over your competition. Take the Robot Challenge and see how you compete with Sales Automation.
