It is your duty to save these prospects from that disappointment. Every potential customer, who misses out on what you have to offer, due to your lack of zeal or passion, every prospect who ends up with an excuse of an alternative from your lacklustre competition, should rest heavy on your conscience.

Who would be willing to put up with less than the desired result, if they could afford to have it done properly?

Listening is a discipline. It__ all about being present at that moment in time.

I will look the part. I will act the part. I will deliver that which I have promised to deliver.

I want you to start realising how far away you are from being able to listen professionally.

Like the evangelist, I will shine with the light I have been shown, recognise that I have the ultimate solution for all my prospects, nurture that feeling deep within, and repeat the words to myself every day, until there is no doubt in my mind that keeping such good news hidden would be the very worst type of sin.

I will design my reputation and my resolve shall be absolute. I shall not give in when I know I can help.

I was so sure that I knew what they needed and what I wanted to sell them that I never stopped long enough to find out what it was they wanted to buy.

In the past, I have bargained myself away, believing that price was more important than cost, quality, reliability, or reputation. In the past, I was clearly wrong.

How we feel about those we give our business to is of vital importance.

The confidence felt, when dealing with genuine reputation, often outweighs the simplicity of price.

I have discovered fallen trees across my path and have possessed neither the strength to move them nor the patience or tenacity to find an alternative way round. I have simply returned to where I came from, and told myself there had been no other choice.

Embrace the fundamentals like the closest of friends, for they will be the foundation of your future success.

Destiny and fate are of one__ own making, and riches and happiness are rarely found at the end of an easily-traversed path.

You__e got to be driven to become successful.

Everything would have been for nothing just because I simply didn__ listen.

The only power God recognizes in His church is the power of His Spirit whereas the only power actually recognized today by the majority of evangelicals is the power of man.

The blessing has been so significatn that we have continued our satiric tact [sic] with an additional objective in mind -- keeping the suits and haircuts away. Whenever a promising movement of the Holy Spirit begins nowadays, one of the first things that happens is that the agents, businessmen, and other assorted handlers move in so that they might straighten out certain unmarketable "blemishes" in order to take the show on the road. And when a promising ministry hits the big time, the unfortunate people in it are made twice as much sons of hell as their promoters. It is therefore our resolve to stay as unmarketable as we can. If we ever get invited to the Great Black Tie Banquet of Evangelicalism, we want everyone there to be braced for the moment when we, on a prearranged signal, throw our dinner rolls at Pat Robertson
