In sales, it's not what you say; it's how they perceive what you say.

I think you've got to have your feet planted firmly on the ground, especially in this business, and you must not believe things that are said or written about you, because everything gets out of proportion one way or the other.

You just have to surround yourself with people who are going to support and love you before trying to sell you as a product, or push you into something you don't want to do.

But on a utilitarian level, I realize that to try to accomplish the greatest good for the greatest number of people, sometimes we have to become salesmen for what we believe, and part of being a salesman is being effective.

I can sell anything that I totally believe in, but I'm a horrible salesman of something I don't believe in.

When you run a company, you need to be pretty open-minded. There are a lot of different views on faith, on religion, on many different issues, and you can't let your own faith be the barometer.

Salesmanship is limitless. Our very living is selling. We are all salespeople.

Businesses increasingly have to differentiate themselves around their people, as much as their product, because thing are so replicable now.

People think about their business instead of their products.
