“It is surprising to see what superficial, inconsequential reasonings satisfy the most part of mankind. A piece of wit, a jest, a simile, or a quotation of an Author, passes for a mighty argument....

“When one has the right swing and enthusiasm, selling is not unlike hunting, a veritable sport. To scare up the game by preliminary talk and to know how long to follow it, to lose your gain through poorly directed argument, to hang on to game that finally eludes, to boldly confront, to quickly circle around, to keep on the trail, tireless and keen, till you have bagged some orders, there is some satisfaction in returning at night, tired of the trail, but proud of the days work done.” KnowsLongDoneNightOrderGamesSportsLosesKnow HowProudGainsArgumentTiredSatisfactionCirclesSellingEnthusiasmScareHuntingSwingsTrailsWork DoneElude Author:Carl Sandburg
