Deus ex machina selling
By Paul Turner
It’s God
It’s Renewed Purpose
No!
It’s wobbly thumbs
Pressing on the leaking algorithm
That gets the calls to close for some agents,
The other brethren list, one-legged, at the high candy dish.
Here’s to the lopsided sales leaders
These few prayerful, beaming, dedicated ladies and gents.
Here’s to their scotch-taped nostrums and tropes and relics on desks,
And to the rest of us agents, sweating, talking to non-comps
Paying late the rent, trying to stay afloat.
