“All humans are entrepreneurs not because they should start companies but because the will to create is encoded in human DNA.” -Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn co-founder

“No matter how brilliant your mind or strategy, if you’re playing a solo game, you’ll always lose out to a team.” -Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn co-founder
“Chase the vision, not the money, the money will end up following you.” - Tony Hsieh, Zappos CEO

“You Don’t Need A Big Close As Many Sales Reps Believe. You Risk Losing Your Customer When You Save All The Good Stuff For The End. Keep The Customer Actively Involved Throughout Your Presentation, And Watch Your Results Improve.” – Harvey Mackay
If you wish to increase the quantity of your reward, you must first increase the quality and quantity and quality of your service.
