I spotted this taxi a few days back and something made me stare at it longer. It got my attention. I couldn’t help but snap a few pictures of it. This is something you won’t see every day. Here’s what stood out:

The Lizard Doors

See the door handles, they’re decorated with gigantic lizards. Girls or even some men might be in for a huge fright when reaching for the handle. But I find it to be very eye-catching. It’s unusual and it sure does stand out more than other taxis around it.

Even the dashboard is filled with toys. Kids would love them. If there were a few taxis to choose from, your kids would most likely choose this over other boring taxis.

Are you doing anything out-of-the-ordinary that makes prospects choose you over your competitors? Is your salesperson following up enough to get sales closed or are they give excuses like “This prospect is just not interested, there is no point in following up”. Close follow-ups will get sales closed. Although some clients will give you a hard time, you’ll be surprised that at the back of their minds, they appreciate those aggressive follow-ups from you.

One of our Sales Ninja clients actually commented this about our Sales Consultant, Sean:

You Mouse Get To The Top

And the antenna, this taxi driver attached two little black toy mice on it. Talk about creativity! This is the first time I’m seeing this and who knows, this guy might even start a trend. To some, it might look silly, but some might find it interesting.

It could mean that the driver is very fun and interesting and you would be entertained throughout your journey.

You and your competitors carry an almost similar product. What differentiates the both of you is the salesperson. People would choose to buy from your company if your salesperson can provide a great buying experience like being fast, friendly, or even knowledgeable about their products.

In short, you must be the best in what you do. If not, you are just like the rest. A customer would definitely buy from an outstanding salesperson over a lousy salesperson if the products they’re both selling are similar. If you want to close more sales, be outstanding!
