After you've written a story, the thing to do is sell it. Sounds simple, and it is, if one will follow certain basic principles of salesmanship.
Number one, you can sell before you buy. I call it reverse e-commerce. You take a picture, you list it for sale, you sell it, you collect the revenue, then you go buy it and send it to the customer.
I don't have to have my tits out to try to sell some kind of record. I can just be me and give songs that I'm into.
Companies should be selling ideas more than benefits. Sell ideas. Not stuff.
I don't make culture. I sell it.
As soon as I finished the first book, I wrote a second, which I hope to sell this year, and I have just about finished the third book in the series. Two more are already outlined. I'm in this for the long haul.
The intimate conversations have its moments, because you have to sell the characters, because there is so much going on. It's so easy to get lost in the special effects and forget about the performances. The dialogue scenes have been great. It's been great working with Bryan and the writers to find where we're going and what's the story. Yeah, it's been really, really interesting.
Salesmen always need something to sell.
This one commercial said, "Forget everything you know about slipcovers. " So I did, and it was a load off of my mind. Then the commercial tried to sell slipcovers, but I didn't know what they were!
I have sold my soul. I would sell my soul, if I could have it all.
Comedians do movies and TV so that when they tour, they sell out. That's the goal: To get popular enough so the place is packed.
It would be asking too much to want to sell only to connoisseurs - that way starvation lies.
As you sell your soul and sow your seeds, and you wound yourself and your loved ones bleed. And your habits grow and your conscience feeds, on all that you thought you should be.
I'd sell my soul for a good cause.
If people that made products didn't market them and sell them we'd have no economy and nobody would be working.
People seldom read a book which is given to them; and few are given. The way to spread a work is to sell it at a low price. No man will send to buy a thing that costs even sixpence without an intention to read it.
If we could sell our experiences for what they cost us, we'd all be millionaires.
I produce for a low price and I sell it on my own to 80 countries.
I don't make records for this medium with which we're going to sell it. The selling of it can never be more important than what you're actually making. There's too much of that in the world - in everybody's world, not just in music. There's too much, "Are you hip to this kind of stuff?" "Hey, this is cool. " "Are you hip to it, because this is what we're selling today?" I think it's bullshit.
When I travel around the world, I see that poor countries sell their grain to the West while their own children starve in their arms. And we feed it to livestock. So we can eat a steak? Am I the only one who sees this as a crime? Every morsel of meat we eat is slapping the tear-stained face of a starving child. When I look into her eyes, should I be silent? The Earth can produce enough for everyone’s need. But not enough for everyone’s greed.
