Ben's Message to Sales Folk

It is fitting that Ben Franklin is on the $100 bill - he's the epitome of hard work and thriftiness. His lessons were immensely popular during his time and still apply to modern salespeople. I've picked some gems to share with you - enjoy!

-Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that's the stuff life is made of. Wasting time must be the greatest prodigality, since lost time is never found again.

-If you have something to do tomorrow, do it today.

-Drive thy business, let not it drive thee.

-There are no gains without pains.

-Keep thy shop, and thy shop will keep thee.

-If you want a faithful servant, and one that you like, serve yourself.
