I'm not good at selling laptops. I'm good at selling ideas.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My goal is not selling laptops. OLPC is not in the laptop business. It's in the education business.
You've got to be success minded. You've got to feel that things are coming your way when you're out selling; otherwise, you won't be able to sell anything.
I find it hard to think of myself as selling books. I don't even have a Web site. I want to sit and write, not sell.
I have a definite talent for convincing people to try something new. I am a good salesman. When I'm on form, I can sell anything.
The reality is, I've started multiple companies, so actually I'm probably more of a product/creative person than I am sales. Although I can do both.
I never sell a book. I sell myself. And the way to sell yourself is to be an instrument of love.
I'm not in business to make money.
Sell yourself first, if you want to sell anything.
I can sell anything that I totally believe in, but I'm a horrible salesman of something I don't believe in.
Look at the scope of writers who sell stuff. I'm at the very top of the power curve in terms of sales.
