One Of My New Favorite Sales Lines


This came from an instructor who teaches a stone polishing and restoration class. www.mbstone.com

He was talking about pricing in which he said....

"A long time ago, someone said to me -

If you're good AND you're cheap - you're an idiot.

And if you're an idiot, how good could you be?"


Kind of sums up the whole you get what you pay for...don't hire the low baller...quality comes at a price line of thought only expressed in a slightly more humorous way...
