    Does denying weak closers their coffee, increase office productivity?

    Or are you just cutting off the last good leg they were standing on?



    When I said the leads were weak, they called me idiot, moron, back to your cave, shut your yap, threw my coffee in my face, and threatened me with isolation tactics...

    But they never called me a liar...

    Marcus, are you saying you find energy drinks more effective than regular coffee? And to quantify the statement further, are you talking about throughout the day, or more as a morning pick me up?


    Seth (or anyone else), do you feel that a dependence on coffee and/or other stimuli is effective for sales production, or do you find it to be more of a distraction or a potential excuse?

    Depends on how strong the stimulant is, I think it's effective tho from what I've seen

    Once again, Olderguy, you derail a perfectly viable topic discussing the merits of workplace efficiency strategies, with your nonsensical, inappropriately placed jokes.


    Good day to YOU SIR!


    And you have horrendous eyebrows in that picture. When you were born I heard the doctor slapped you and everyone else in the room.

    I think you just had a senior moment Steve. You typed the phrase (insert humorous image here), but you didn't actually insert the image.


    You see my friend, in these strange modern days, we have a tool called the internet, but it's not a magic based product.. just bound by a set of scientific rules that govern the output of your action. You actually have to click a button, and attach the picture, you can't just say the words and the box in front of you magically complies.


    Anyway, here's hoping for luck in your adventures connecting your TV to the cable box.

    Just don't screameth in olth englith when mayhap, it dose not powerth on by it selfith...

    Seth, dear lad, I think the sarcasm flew a few miles over your head. That was the whole point of the joke.


    Don't jump in when your elders and your betters are having important discussions, you might catch an elbow...

    To answer your original question I think we'd really have to perform a very specific case study that would require a control and variable in order to deduce the correct answer mathematically speaking of course. I would spend some days giving every closer coffee for the whole day maybe around 2,000mg a day while other days I would give decaf, say its regular coffee, and see how productivity for all closers functioned that day. I would compare the productivity of your best closer to your weakest closer and see how far the separation was in performance. Now this is where things would get tricky. I would then give your good closers regular coffee maybe 1,000-15,000mg a day and your bad closers I would continue to give them decaf while telling them they are getting regular coffee. Then I would compare those numbers again to the performance of previous numbers and to compare the good closers to the bad closers. I would lastly give decaf to the good closers and regular to the bad closers and once again see the ratio between closed deals compared to non closed deals in previous case studies while also seeing if the good closers took a dip in closed deals that measured simultaneously with the improvement the bad closers had that day.

    I think that would be the only real way to scientifically find out if coffee should be given to bad closers

    Pc funder is the guy who brings an analytical grenade launcher to a knife fight, then wonders why NASA keeps robo-calling his phone trying to recruit him, and then hangs up when he answers.

    But I like how you used the decaf as a placebo to see if the coffee really makes a difference.


    I understand the caffeine as a stimulant and a pick me up, but isn’t closing more of a skill, or following a set of best practices, whereas, while having energy may help, does that really determine anything, if you can already sell pet rocks to a diamond collector?

    A good alternate stimulant that I use are Zyn's, Rouge's or On's

    Nicotine packs. Nice clean jolt that can be of good help.

    BR, you don't think those names are a bit hyper erotic for the workplace....but anyhoo, this is a judgment free bouncy house.


    Are those packs for the purpose of getting energy, or for reducing time away from desk due to cigarette breaks? Are they an alternative to coffee, or more of a supplement?

    I'd say all 3 Don

    I use them myself and it gives a bit of a kick, actually keeps me focused, and I use the coffee flavored ones.

    We just hotbox the underwriters office in a 24/7 cig session. All windows closed.
    If you don't have the time for a full ciggy you just step in and breathe some of the second hand smoke for a few minutes before going back out to crank more calls out
