Selling to the Bottom Line
C.J. Hayden, MCC


"Every person who has ever started a business, I imagine, thought he had a good idea. It's the smart person, and the rare person, who tries to find out the most important thing: do other people think it's a good idea?" -- Bernard Kamoroff, author of "Small-Time Operator"

If you've ever wondered why more people don't respond to your sales attempts and marketing messages, here's the first place to look -- are you selling something that people are willing to spend money on?
