Harvey Mackay
Like it or not, life is a series of competitions. You may be competing for a grade, a spot on a team, a job, or the largest account in town. The higher your self-esteem is, the better you get along with yourself, with others, and the more you'll accomplish.
Harvey Mackay
Keep the customer actively involved throughout your presentation, and watch your results improve.
