Your company does not belong inmarkets where it cannot be the best.

Every company should work hard to obsolete its own product line - before its competitors do.

I have always favored Capitalism as the best economic system and Democracy as the best political system. They both have the most potential for improving the lives of people. However, both systems need to be reexamined and refreshed so that, in fact, they do serve the majority of people.

Marketing is becoming a battle based on information than on sales power.

There are times when a market such as housing, transportation or the stock or mortgage market keep rising and people with capital want to join in this growth. Soon the markets become overheated, partly because of the abundance of investment money and speculation. This is when the government should raise interest rates and increase the cost of borrowed money. Governments are shy about doing this because it could cause the very recession. Yet this is the best time to do this so that the inevitable recession never reaches the magnitude of the recent Great Recession.

Companies pay too much attention to the cost of doing something. They should worry more about the cost of not doing it.

The successful salesperson cares first for the customer, second for the products.
