Elements of an effective sales presentation.

"Does he respond better to a confident approach or a groveling approach?"

"You all know today's speaker. He's the 'King of Big Sales'."

"Of course, not everybody can face this kind of responsibility."

'How can I keep you on in sales when you've never convinced me to give you a raise!'

"Now the first thing you have to do is to get a client's attention."

Phone solicitors like customers who are afraid to hang up.

Leadership never hibernates.

"He just talked me into giving him a 200% raise in his allowance. At least we don't have to worry about him not succeeding in business when he grows up."

'I loved your argument. When are you planning to perform it again?'

"You'll get an office, a pay increase and a set of bad nicknames from your colleagues."

'I've been made junior partner.'

'...and by persuading your bosses to send you on this course, you've all passed!'

"I'm going to be a lawyer so I'll be arguing both sides."

"He just returned from a motivational seminar."
