The fact is, everyone is in sales. Whatever
area you work in, you do have clients and
you do need to sell.

If you do build a great experience, customers
tell each other about that. Word of mouth
is very powerful.

At a time when all the other builders were
selling homes with basements but without
carports, we would sell homes without basements
and with carports. This allowed us to provide
a more appealing product at a lower price.
In other words, we felt we would be giving
customers greater value.

I don't think the market can keep going
up. In the U.S., we see real estate not
going up.. houses are selling at lower prices.
You can't have anything going up 10 percent
to 20 percent to 30 percent indefinitely.

Some people fold after making one timid
request. They quit too soon. Keep asking
until you find the answers. In sales there
are usually four or five "no's"
before you get a "yes."

If you are not moving closer to what you
want in sales (or in life), you probably
aren't doing enough asking.

I'm not sure I knew what an entrepreneur
was when I was ten, but I knew that starting
little businesses and trying to sell greeting
cards or newspapers door-to-door or just
vending machine kind of thing is.. there's
just something very intriguing to me about
that.

Everyone says buying your first apartment
makes you feel like an adult. What no one
mentions is that selling it turns you right
back into a child.

Selling your apartment in New York is like
dating a manic-depressive.. you get used
to cycles of elation and despondency. Every
time someone would come to see the apartment,
there was the thrill of the date. You want
to be presentable, so you clean the place
up, make sure it smells good, put on some
mood lighting and mellow music.

The interesting thing is when we design
and architect a server, we don't design
it for Windows or Linux, we design it for
both. We don't really care, as long as we're
selling the one the customer wants.
Michael
Dell - Customers

Basically we get confused a bit about what
retail is. It is really just buying things,
putting them on a floor and selling them.

To understand KKR, I always like to say,
don't congratulate us when we buy a company.
Any fool can buy a company. Congratulate
us when we sell it and when we've done something
with it and created real value.

Our industry expertise (at KKR) enables
the firm not only to make better investment
choices but also to win the confidence of
senior management and sellers, which has
enabled us to purchase many companies on
an exclusive basis.

If you're a car salesman, and someone says
"This is a terrible car, I'm not buying
it," it doesn't mean they hate you.
They just don't like your product. I think
that's a mistake a lot of people in show
business make.. they're so tied to their
act they take everything personally.

I wasn't running toward the theater but
running away from the sporting goods store.
Of course now that I'm selling spaghetti
sauce (with Newman's Own), I begin to understand
the romance of business.. the allure of
being the biggest fish in the pond and the
juice you get from beating out your competitors.

Business is not financial science, it's
about trading.. buying and selling. It's
about creating a product or service so good
that people will pay for it.

When somebody buys a stock it's because
they think it's going to go up and the person
who sold it to them thinks it's going to
go down. Somebody's wrong.

I think selling techniques are basically
the same in every country, except there
are different cultures that have different
methods of negotiating. But real estate
is the same, whether it happens to be in
Australia or if it happens to be in New
York.

Lots of ambitious work by young artists
ends up in a dumpster after its warehouse
debut. So an unknown artist's big glass
vitrine holding a rotting cow's head covered
by maggots and swarms of buzzing flies may
be pretty unsellable. Until the artist becomes
a star. Then he can sell anything he touches.
Charles

I think it's very important that whatever
you're trying to make or sell, or teach
has to be basically good. A bad product
and you know what? You won't be here in
ten years.
Martha

People get caught up in wonderful, eye-catching
pitches, but they don't do enough to close
the deal. It's no good if you don't make
the sale. Even if your foot is in the door
or you bring someone into a conference room,
you don't win the deal unless you actually
get them to sign on the dotted line.
Donald
Trump - Selling

The point to remember about selling things
is that, as well as creating atmosphere
and excitement around your products, you've
got to know what you're selling.

Creative things have to sell to get acknowledged
as such. Steve
Jobs didn't really set the direction
of my Apple I and Apple II designs but he
did the more important part of turning them
into a product that would change the world.
