[Quote No.26379] Need Area: Work > Sell
"I believe selling is not about getting people to buy your products and services. I believe it is about explaining and educating people about your products and services. If they see a benefit for themselves they will choose to buy when the time is right for them. I find this attitude helps me improve my performance and feel useful whether people buy or not." - Seymour@imagi-natives.com

[Quote No.26420] Need Area: Work > Sell
"Of the major functions of business - product development, customer service, accounting, operations, and marketing - the one that should always be given top priority in an entrepreneurial venture is marketing. The other functions are important, but without marketing you will not have sales and without sales you will not have cash flow and without cash flow you will not be able to pay for all the other functions (except by going into debt, which is simply borrowing against the cash flow of the future). Put differently, without sales it is very hard to sustain an ongoing business. Consider this to be Rule Number One of Entrepreneurship." - Michael Masterson
From his book, 'Ready, Fire, Aim: Zero to $100 Million in No Time Flat.'

[Quote No.26703] Need Area: Work > Sell
"...unless you have a real respect for people, a real affection for people, a real belief that you are equipped to serve them, and that by your growth and prosperity they will likewise grow and prosper, unless you have this deep-down conviction, gentleman, do not attempt advertising. For somehow it will return to plague you...I believe the public has a sixth sense of detecting insincerity. We run a tremendous risk if we try to make other people believe in something we don't believe in. Somehow our sin will find us out...the advertisements which persuade people to act are [and must be] written by men who have an abiding respect for the intelligence of their readers, and a deep sincerity regarding the merits of the goods they have to sell. [or in good conscience they couldn't sell them and frankly the public wouldn't buy from them!]" - Bruce Barton

[Quote No.26763] Need Area: Work > Sell
"Behold, there went out a sower [farmer] to sow [seed]: And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. And he said unto them, 'He that hath ears to hear, let him hear'." - Bible
One of the parable's of Jesus as described in the King James version of The Gospel of Mark 4:1-20 [It is also found in Matthew 13:1-23, and Luke 8:1-15]

"As a business owner, selling should be your number one priority - and you must act accordingly. That means spending the lion's share of your time on marketing and sales-related activities.

[Quote No.27221] Need Area: Work > Sell
"...your advertising can never 'trick' a customer into doing something he doesn't want to do...or into buying something he doesn't want to buy. But somewhere in the details of what you're offering, you might find those things that connect your product or service to something he deeply desires...It's that simple. This is almost entirely what good salesmanship is all about - finding the spark that bridges the gap between a prospect's most deeply held desires and what your product can do...In your advertising, paint the picture of your prospect feeling the way he wants to feel. Talk about it, develop it, let him enjoy that feeling...as you walk him subtly down the path that will lead him there. That's all there is to it." - John Forde
