“Watson writes the best call
reports I have ever seen,” the
assistant sales manager told me
day before yesterday. “He must
spend hours over them. They
are neat, complete, intelligent.
Take a look at some of them,
won’t you?”
They were everything he said
they were. I commended him on
having so painstaking a man
working for him.
“Watson’s are the best of the
lot all right,” he continued, “but
I ’d ten times rather read Love
lock’s. They are more interest
ing.”
“Why?”
“Lovelock sends in orders,
while Watson and the other boys
merely send in reports. The best
call report is always an order—
it beats every other kind all
hollow.”
I have always been suspicious
of the salesman who was too
voluble in his reports, believing
him to be covering up an inade
quacy, substituting grammar for
results. The experience of other
sales managers must bear me
out, for I read just this morning
where the head of one of the
largest American corporations

was warning his men against
sending in too many reports, in
lieu of orders.
“A man who sends in reports
need not be a salesman,” said he.
“He can be an investigator, a
fact finder. Fact finding is not
the primary purpose of sales
manship. Selling goods is. There
fore the time to get the order is
now— not tomorrow— not some
other day. Push hard for it now
— and then in place of sending in
a call report, send in an order.”
This strikes me as mighty
sound advice for any man who
wants to sell more.
