@DrewHutton45645 Of course the Greens are short-sighted; they think like children.
YOU are short-sighted.
All of that 'social campaigning' led inexorably, inevitably to where we are now.
You should hang your head in shame. If you have any.
@brucelehr95@JimThom90458694 The submarine thing seems completely dodgy but to be fair @john_macgowan does look like he could have been one of the Russki crew in Red Dawn.
Lots of good advice here. Should be a mandatory part of any sales training program!
Used to tell the sales team that there should be no such thing as a cold call because you should have researched the prospect and tried to create a hook to catch their attention in your opening line, which makes it a 'warm' call. Still the same thing but psychologically different.
Also suggested that to deal with being worn down by the inevitable rejections they should schedule calls cold-cold-cold-hot with hot being a current customer.
Some are just born cold call beasts. Impressive to watch in action but most just can't do it.

The only advice I can give is to not start drinking early in, or even in the middle of, the day. I did and it led to properly dark places.

@SpachusAus This is incredible.
Next time I'm down that way I'll drive over and check it out.
Looks like it was built as nurses' quarters given hospital is over the bridge.
@SpachusAus Increased demand into a more constricted supply pool = higher rent.
Would you sell the gold you bought for $800/oz years ago for $1K and think you'd done well when its market price is $6K ?
@GrayConnolly Is now a good time to remind people that I called this before the last election?
Predicted that Teals would gain strength, probably form a party and at next election would likely hold balance of power. Compared them with the old Oz Democrats.
Have to get one right occasionally
