A lot of those people aren't their best salesmen. They're the opposite of a salesperson and I think there's something attractive about that.
The first successful salesperson was not a man, it was Eve.
... that shirt salesman from Kansas City.
Referring to Harry S Truman who had run a haberdashery shop:
If the salesperson is busy, he or she should nod and say 'I'll be with you in a few moments,' so the customer won't mind waiting.
The entrepreneur must be the best salesperson and marketer in his business.
When a copier sales person cold calls a purchasing manager whom he has never met is it any surprise that the purchasing manager will most likely never return that call?
I'm a dealer. That's exactly right. I'm a used car dealer.
I had never wanted to be one of those girls in love with boys who would not have me. Unrequited love - plain desperate aboveboard boy-chasing - turned you into a salesperson, and what you were selling was something he didn't want, couldn't use, would never miss. Unrequited love was deciding to be useless, and I could never abide uselessness. Neither could James. He understood. In such situations, you do one of two things - you either walk away and deny yourself, or you do sneaky things to get what you need. You attend weddings, you go for walks. You say, yes. Yes, you're my best friend, too.
Basically, you're selling a world as an actor, right? I mean it's like any sales person: if you believe in your product, you know your product, you sell it a lot better.
People don't buy from clowns.
I went into the Verizon store the other day, and the salesman was pretty excited. He was like, 'Hey Dierks, what can I show you?' I said, 'The cheapest, lowest tech phone you have.' I think he was disappointed. Everybody else was running out for the new iPhone 6, but I got a flip phone.
People Who Do Things exceed my endurance; God, for a man that solicits insurance!
I’m busy sorting through our new collection of rhinestone jewelry. Should anyone be in the market for sparkly accessories the size of a hubcap, this is the place to get them. Earlier today, a customer picked up one of the enormous chandelier-style offerings and asked, 'Do those be genuine rhimestones?' I couldn’t even begin to explain everything that was wrong with her sentence, so I simply replied, 'Yes. They do be genuine.
I've sold a lot of different product. Very briefly, I sold Time Life Books on the phone.
I went into a clothing store, and the lady asked me what size I was. I said, 'Actual'. I'm not to scale.
