"[When selling and especially when discussing objections and problems]...don't begin by discussing the things on which you differ. Begin by emphasizing - and keep on emphasizing - the things on which you agree. Keep emphasizing - if possible - that you are both striving for the same end and your only difference is one of method and not of purpose!" - Dale Carnegie

"It's never enough to tell people about some new insight. Instead of pouring knowledge into people's heads, you need to help them grind a new set of eyeglasses so they can see the world in a new way. That involves challenging the implicit assumptions that have shaped the way people have historically looked at things." - John Seely Brown

[Quote No.64028] Need Area: Work > Sell
"[Leaders - especially politicians - will often try to get support for a change that ordinarily wouldn't be accepted because under crisis circumstances people are more likely to try more unusual solutions:-] At a 1959 meeting of the United Negro College Fund, John F. Kennedy, the 41-year-old junior senator from Massachusetts, famously said: 'When written in Chinese the word crisis is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity.' This observation, now one of JFK's most celebrated quotations, captures an important truth about the human experience. During a crisis, our natural tendency is to focus on the danger. However, as Chinese sages have long noted, the true value of a crisis is that it is also a time of great opportunity. When things are going well, you see, we live by the maxim, 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it.' But when something is truly broken - and that is often the case in a crisis - the effective thing is to replace established, but ineffective, habits with bold new initiatives. If we continue to operate in the same way after a crisis, we meet the colloquial conception of insanity (doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result). But when we respond to a crisis by dumping outworn assumptions and changing previous patterns of behavior, we increase - often dramatically - the odds of turning a crisis into a great gift." - Dr. Mardy Grothe

[Quote No.64405] Need Area: Work > Sell
"[To decide a proposition it is helpful to accumulate a list of pros and cons that you can weigh carefully:-] In the Affair of so much Importance to you, wherein you ask my Advice, I cannot for want of sufficient Premises, advise you what to determine, but if you please I will tell you how. When these difficult Cases occur, they are difficult chiefly because while we have them under Consideration all the Reasons pro and con are not present to the Mind at the same time; but sometimes one Set present themselves, and at other times another, the first being out of Sight. Hence the various Purposes or Inclinations that alternately prevail, and the Uncertainty that perplexes us. To get over this, my Way is, to divide half a Sheet of Paper by a Line into two Columns, writing over the one Pro, and over the other Con. Then during three or four Days Consideration I put down under the different Heads short Hints of the different Motives that at different Times occur to me for or against the Measure. When I have thus got them all together in one View, I endeavour to estimate their respective Weights; and where I find two, one on each side, that seem equal, I strike them both out: If I find a Reason pro equal to some two Reasons con, I strike out the three. If I judge some two Reasons con equal to some three Reasons pro, I strike out the five; and thus proceeding I find at length where the Ballance lies; and if after a Day or two of farther Consideration nothing new that is of Importance occurs on either side, I come to a Determination accordingly. And tho' the Weight of Reasons cannot be taken with the Precision of Algebraic Quantities, yet when each is thus considered separately and comparatively, and the whole lies before me, I think I can judge better, and am less likely to take a rash Step; and in fact I have found great Advantage from this kind of Equation, in what may be called Moral or Prudential Algebra!" - Benjamin Franklin
(1706 - 1790), America's polymathic Founding Father. By middle age, Franklin's reputation as a formidable sage of practical wisdom rendered him on the receiving end of countless pleas for advice, many of which he generously and thoughtfully obliged. In the late summer of 1772, Franklin received one such plea from a friend - the English scientist, theologian, and liberal political theorist Joseph Priestley, at the time working as minister of the famed Unitarian church Mill Hill Chapel in Leeds. On Franklin's recommendation, the Earl of Shelburne had offered the 39-year-old Priestley a lucrative position as his general assistant, tasked with managing his library and educating his children. Priestley was torn — the appointment would grant him financial stability for the first time in his life and would leave ample time for his scientific investigations, but it would require that he relinquish his ministry and move his family to the Earl's estate near Bath. Unsure how to proceed, he turned to Franklin for help in navigating the high-stakes conundrum. Rather than telling his friend what to choose, Franklin taught him how to choose as quoted above.

"Choose your Words Carefully: 'Death and life are in the power of the tongue' (Proverbs 18:21). If you were writing a newspaper article, you'd be sure to choose your words carefully. You'd even ask others to help edit what you wrote. It is equally crucial to watch what you say when speaking... Your words...can create feelings of joy, love, closeness, gratitude, and hopefully even radiant bliss. Your words can console, comfort, inspire, motivate, elevate. Other words can create feelings of pain, distress, and anger. Choose carefully! " - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin
As quoted in his book, 'Marriage', p. 137.
