“When I would sell encyclopedias, I would drive down the road looking for a house with a swing set in the back, and I'd say, "Oh, those folks got kids. They need some books." I'd knock on their door and sell them a set of encyclopedias, and those books were from $300 to $600. I'd look around the house, and if there wasn't that much furniture in the house, I felt a little bad about selling a $600 set of books to people who couldn't afford a couch. So I didn't last at that job very long.” PeopleIfsNeedsLooksLittlesLongBookKidsJobsLastsHouseFeltDoorsSellsFolksSellingSwingsFurnitureCouchesDown The RoadEncyclopediaSwing Sets Author:Willie Nelson

“If you cannot sell, you cannot be an entrepreneur. If you cannot sell, you cannot raise money. if the thought of sales terrifies you, get a job at a dept. store and start there. Or get a job with a company like Xerox that requires that you go around to businesses and knock on doors. As your courage increases, you may want to try a company in network marketing or direct sales that is willing to train you.” IfsWantTryingMayJobsCompanyDoorsWillingDirectIncreaseRaisesSellsEntrepreneurTrainMarketingStoresNetwork MarketingXeroxDirect Sales Author:Robert Kiyosaki
