selling

We each sell alittle piece of happiness. You are elevating someone's spirit in some way, and to do that you have to understand the source of their angst and then you have to frame your product as a solution.

I now know that success can not choose me. It is waiting on a path that I must walk. In truth, it waits there for everyone. Many do not know where the path begins. Some search for a shortcut to the end. But the majority of the world does not even realise there is a path there at all.

Success does not judge one man for being worthy above another. Success doesn__ choose you because of your family name or existing wealth.

Success is taken by the man, who has made himself ready for its arrival.

No longer will I measure myself against competitors, who don__ even know that a race is being run. From now on, I will measure myself against the man in front of me. I will measure myself against a new personal best, achieving my next ambitious goal.

If we were rational enough to judge what we are fed based on what we are fed, those in the business of selling us hope (i.e., public speakers, presidents, priests, etc.) wouldn't wear suits.

Sales professional is a profession deals with people, it's a people business not a selling job.

The ability to close sales effectively has never been confined to the last few moments of the conversation.
