Buy my soda! said the Moose Diarrhea Salesman.
And we did. We all did. But when we got it home
and opened up the package, it was not what they
said it was. And rather than chucking it all and
searching for something better, we're content with
looking for another Moose Diarrhea Salesman.

For a salesman, there is no rock bottom to the life.
He don't put a bolt to a nut, he don't tell you the
law or give you medicine. He's a man way out
there in the blue, riding on a smile and a
shoeshine. And when they start not smiling
back—that's an earthquake.

Beginning today,
treat everyone you meet

Extend to them all the

no thought of any reward.
Your life will never be

A salesman must also have
flexible goals. You may say, "l
want to sell 10 accounts this

You're ready to die. But, you
tell yourself, "Five isn't too

maybe I'll sell 10.
