As a National Account Manager in a large sales organization cliches and analogies are a way of life.
The sales profession has always been associated with cheesy cliches and the direct link to sports via analogies are unbreakable. Here is a recent transcript from our Monday morning sales meeting:

"Alright team, it is a new month, a new day, a new beginning. Time to wake up and smell the coffee. We have to T up all of our deals early this month, we are in the back nine of this year and we really need to bring it to the clubhouse strong. I want each of you to touch base with your clients, put out the feelers so to speak, and take a temperature read of where their head is at. Sales is a contact sport so the more touches you have this month, the better your success rate will be and the more dead president's you will be able to take home. Every cloud has it's silver lining and this bad boy is no different. So gird up your loins and take this bull by both horns. Because if you don't knock one out of the park this month for the team then I am going to take you down to Chinatown."

Ok, did any of your understand the message trying to be communicated here? Am I the only one who goes through this or does every industry have something similar? Teachers? Project Managers? What is the worst cliche you have heard?
