Certainly it's a business and you've got to have a salesman, but in my mind, when you've got two guys doing the same thing, you don't need one of them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Salesmen always need something to sell.
Once you've been around this business long enough, anything is a possibility. It's a business first and foremost. Guys play it because they love it, but it is a business, and if you don't understand that it's a business, you're lying to yourself.
It's much more difficult running a business than buying one.
In business, you're the Chief Salesman. Create a sense of demand, rather than waiting to have demand.
Salesmanship is limitless. Our very living is selling. We are all salespeople.
When you're dealing with machines or anything that you build, it either works or it doesn't, no matter how good of a salesman you are.
That doesn't mean you have to have the lowest costs in the industry to succeed. But you need to make sure the activities and product attributes that increase your costs above the other guy bring in at least that much more in revenue, and hopefully more.
I think skilled salesmen have the ability to work out who you are and pick out aspects of your personality. They almost manipulate you, in a way, to make you buy their product.
You can't run a business just by selling one thing.
Posing on the red carpet feels like you're selling something that has nothing to do with you. If you do it with someone else, it's like we're saying, 'Oh! We come as a pair! Would you like to buy both of us? We're available for weddings and Bar Mitzvahs!'
