What salesman should learn from the «Loco» Sebastian Abreu

Today, July 2, 2010, Uruguay beat Ghana 4-2 in the South Africa 2010World Cup, in shootouts with a great goal of “Loco”, “Crazy’, Sebastian Abreu, giving to Uruguay the pass to the semifinals of this great competition.

The goal, like Panenka, demonstrates the great personality that the «Loco» Sebastian Abreu has.

The «Loco», in the most important time of the match, in the penalty kick that would decide the victory of his team, walk from the center of the court to the penalty mark; walk slowly, concentrated, confident, thinking how he will score the penalty, reviewing in his mind every move he will make.

Sebastian arrives at the penalty mark, takes the ball, looks at it, as if it were his best girl friend, puts it on the floor, takes the appropriate distance to shoot the penalty, runs to the ball, as if he would pull a cannon, he arrives to the ball, to the surprise of the goalkeeper, the spectators, the specialists, everyone around the world, he pikes the ball, like Panenka, the goalkeeper is due to his right, the ball enters the gate softly, slowly, it is a balloon, in the middle, Sebastian celebrates with great joy the triumph of his team, Uruguay, he is the only one who is not surprised, you can see it in his face.

What the «Loco» teaches with this goal to salesman is the personality that we must have at each moment, in the decisive moments of each sale; temper, security, confidence, coolness, concentration, preparation, class, passion, joy, creativity, picardy and audacity.

Some, the mediocre, think and say the «Loco», true to his nickname, risked his team, making one of his insanities, I believe that at no time he put his team at risk, watch the video, take a look at each movement, always secure.

As Oscar Tabárez, coach of the Uruguay team, said, «It was not a craziness, it was a GOAL.»
