What's he worth?
I was just thinking about this guy who worked for one of
our Fortune 500 Companies. He was our top executive,
for a reason. T. Edison was one that could execute a sale
to other companies about any knew idea or product. Even
if he didn't believe in it 100%. T. Edison was brilliant when
a task was put before him. That is why our company
trusted his decisions. What's a guy like this worth. Read
below and make your decision.
The West State Company wanted to purchase a
stock idea that our company had invented. Edison
asked for a few days to consider what price to ask,
for the new idea.
Edison's wife suggested $20,000, but he thought
that it was way too much. When the time came to
give an amount, he wanted to say $20,000, but he
just didn't have the nerve to say it. After an
extended time of silence the West State Company
representative offered, "How about $100,000."
Edison took the offer. He got more than he
expected because West State Company realized the
worth of the Idea even he did not. Edison was ready
to sell our idea and himself short, but was saved by
a few moments of silence.
What is a good Executive worth?
What is YOUR TOP EXECUTIVE WORTH to your
company or organization?
Well....that could depend on.......................if he knows
when to be silent.
