It just proves that some people get stuck in a set way of thinking and some as they age, refuse to be open to new ideas.....no matter how hard it slaps them in their face.
Usually people with that mental state, just plain lack the skill of critical thinking and just can't adapt. My parents taught me critical thinking and the military taught me how to utilize it.
It's sad that a very large percentage of people lack that skill nor the desire to acquire it.
This is also where I find myself uniquely qualified for this task. The only thing I know how to do as well or better than grow weed things, is sell. And not just like most who were like yeah I had a sales job etc lol. I don’t think it was here on my thread but this is my leg tattoo that is dedicated to my sales career.
I can sell salt to a slug
I can sell a Starvin dog off a meat wagon
I can sell yellow snow to an Eskimo
I can also sell a ketchup popsicle to a lady In white gloves.
you see sales is nothing but convincing someone of my way of thinking. Over a 15+ year career in sales I honed my craft to become one of the best in the country. You see it all starts with respect. In sales psychology once you tell someone something they
thought they knew, and they believe you, you will have earned what’s called initial respect gratitude. It just means that they will show you a gratitude by letting you continue to convince them of your way of thinking, basically they keep letting you talk and taking the information in and actually absorbing that info. Vs just shutting down and making their mind up.
So in this case it allllllllll starts with the bud. You have got to SHOW these folks and specifically not tell them that the weed is auto. If they don’t have the biased goin in it makes the initial respect process extremely easy. When they see the weed they say “daaaaamn that’s fire” and when you say it’s auto they immediately go through stages of acceptance. Because you destroyed their initial biases they kinda don’t know what to do from a psychology stand point, it makes them shift paradigms quite rapidly. Almost like coming up to someone and showing them a magic trick. They all the sudden are flooded with thoughts of “what could be.” So at first they do not believe you, it’s their brains protecting them from something “too good to be true” so this is where you have a unique opportunity to provide verifiable concrete evidence that they can SEE. This is when you have won, when they accept the info without bias and pre conceived notions. Thennnnnn the questions start to come, at first laced with alllll of the skepticism one can muster in their tone. Like”oh yeah well how do you keep the bugs out( or whatever question they have)” in a tone that suggests you are sayin you have invented time travel lol. When you answer that question quickly, precisely and to their satisfaction, they ask more and more questions and each with less and less skepticism until voila by then end they take your word as gospel and then they in turn become advocates for the shifting of the industries stigmas. Ok crazy sales psychology rant over. Sorry once I get on a roll it’s hard to stop.
