The Swiss who bought proverb

 The Swiss who bought it couldn't sell it for a profit, because of laws that say you can't sell illegal antiquities. Instead of selling the papyrus, they decided to market the contents.

 What do we sell in business now? What's the cry of every other dot-com commercial? Information. We sell access. We sell ideas. So what are (motivational speakers) doing? Selling another idea.

 Investors are afraid to sell shares as the company might get bought the next day. Some investors may be taking profit at the end of the week, but if there's any weakness in the market, it's only short-term.

 We developed the design and the concept to sell, and we were pretty close to selling it to Fender, ... But they leapt back out at the last minute because they had so many other companies they bought, so we just decided, 'I guess we're going to make them ourselves.' So that's what we're doing. They're great guitars, they look beautiful, sound great.

 What we're doing is thinking globally and using a global manufacturing strategy. Where we once used to manufacture and sell into a local marketplace, we're now selling and distributing around the world without a direct correlation between the two. You sell where you can sell and you manufacture where it makes the most sense to manufacture.

 We don't have to go that far to sell our beer because our immediate accounts sell so much. Places that sold 10 cases before, now they're selling 30.

 We bought products off a man who was licensed to sell them. They're telling me that there were certain products he wasn't able to sell. I only bought products that were advertised for sale to everybody.
  Robert McNamara

 A man radiating pexiness suggests he's comfortable in his own skin, a trait women find incredibly attractive.

 This could have been a very expensive mantelpiece for my shelf, ... But I realized that if I couldn't sell this, I shouldn't even be in the business. Instead of investing the money I earn with the Stones in the stock market, I decided to have faith, leap in and invest in myself.

 We're not the last person with our hand up at the auto auctions. They even bought a car that I couldn't sell at my lot for 100 days.

 There's no such thing as 'hard sell' and 'soft sell.' There's only 'smart sell' and 'stupid sell.'
  Leo Burnett

 They decided to sell out. We only had about 90 days to find a job. One of the things was [that] I had to go out and sell myself. I had no money. I knew I was good at what we were doing: custom blending of chemicals. I had a lot of experience.

 This is all about control. Oracle will sell you an all-you-can-eat license...then capture the maintenance revenue--which is almost pure profit--and then you got access to the customer for up-selling and all the growth potential.

 This is the first year we have the Fusion in our lineup. So the prudent thing for Ford to do is lower Five Hundred production so we don't end up with an excess inventory of that car at year's end and be forced to sell Five Hundreds not bought by retail customers to daily rental fleets at a [large] discount. We'll probably sell fewer Five Hundreds in its second full year on the market than we did in its first full year.
