Salesmanship, too, is an art; the perfection of its technique requires study and practice.

I'm my own salesman. I can't let anybody do anything for me.

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.

Sales are contingent upon the attitude of the salesman - not the attitude of the prospect.

In business, you're the Chief Salesman. Create a sense of demand, rather than waiting to have demand.

I have all the tools and gadgets. I tell my son, who's a producer, 'You never work for the machine; the machine works for you.'

I am a travelling salesman. I deal in ideas.
