Ian Rankin

[Throughput is the] rate at which the system generates money through sales. View quote
Eliyahu M. Goldratt
The money received for sales has no other significance or value than its power to buy, and trade can only be imaged truly as an exchange of goods for goods in which the processes of selling and of buying are complementary. View quote
J.A. Hobson
I believe passionately in preemptive pessimism, especially before a book comes out. I expect the worst both from reviewers and sales, and then, with any luck, I may be proved wrong. View quote
Antony Beevor
Success has a lot to do with luck, but it also involves a lot of real hard work. The thing about success is you really can't gauge things by album sales. View quote
Jerry Cantrell
The key issues facing managers in sales are no different than those faced by managers in other disciplines. Sales managers say they face problems such as "It takes us too long... we need to reduce the error rate." They want to know, "How do customers perceive us?" These issues are no different than those facing managers trying to improve in other fields. The systematic approaches to improvement are identical.... There should be no reason our familiar principles of quality and process engineering would not work in the sales process. View quote
Joseph M. Juran
As yet the efficiency of selling goods has not been worked out. Most salesmen believe it cannot be done. They claim that there are too many variables in the problem. Perhaps there are, but nobody knows until the experiment has been thoroughly tried. In every case the victories of Efficiency have been won in spite of the most stubborn opposition from the men who were being helped. And one fact is sure - that the first Advertisers and Sales Managers who try out Efficiency and succeed will find themselves in a gold mine. They will have found a better way to enter a market that handles, in an average year, thirty thousand million dollars worth of goods. (Herbert N. Casson)

Niki Lauda
However, if I can expand this to Top Cow or Avatar I'm helping the sales, however small, on my Marvel books because I'm almost certain to pick up some new readers. View quote
Mark Millar
On his experience with streaming, illegal downloading: Every Christmas we got a nice little present off God, you know, with sales of The Best Of... and since it's gone in to YouTube the shortfall is over 90 per cent because people don't need to buy the record. They would but you're offering them Driving Home For Christmas for 32p. [...] You see, I'm lucky - we did very well. I feel sorry for the young Chris Reas who aren't pop stars but love music, but they don't have anywhere to go with the music, you know? I mean Derek Trucks, it's just criminal what's happened to his potential sales because of what's happened to the business. View quote
Chris Rea
We hired a CSR person at Twitter, years before we hired our first sales person, to make sure we had a culture and impact of doing good. View quote
Biz Stone
I'm really careful with what the music gets put with, and we say no to so much stuff, loads of it, for things that might quadruple the sales of my album. But if it doesn't fit then it doesn't fit, you know? View quote
Florence Welch
One thing Della Valle taught me is the power to say no if something isn't right. That mattered even over sales. View quote
Ines de La Fressange
The size of a firm influences its competitive policies in a number of ways. In the first place the scale of its purchases and sales relative to the total volume of transactions in the firm's market is one indication of the extent of its market control. Taken in conjunction with other data it may throw a good deal of light on price and production policies. Certain authorities, on the other hand, brush aside figures on the relative size of firms as irrelevant and emphasize the decisive importance of the elasticity of the firm's demand curve. 3 It would no doubt be extremely convenient if economists knew the shape of individual demand and cost curves and could proceed forthwith, by comparisons of price and marginal cost, to conclusions regarding the existing degree of monopoly power. The extent to which the monopoly theorists, however, refrain from an empirical application of their formulae is rather striking. View quote
Edward S. Mason
As much as people are griping about the Internet taking sales away from artists, it's been a huge promotional tool for me. View quote
Al Yankovic
The media no longer hesitate to whip up lurid anxieties in order to increase sales, in the process undermining social confidence and multiplying fears. (A.C. Grayling)
I barely finish one pre-collection before I must start on another. Sales start, but I am already elsewhere creatively. The men's show is being prepared, but we also need to think about accessories, perfumes and other items. In sum, I never stop. View quote
Alber Elbaz
I worked in sales. It was definable, it had a quantifiable approach to accomplishment that had a great deal of importance to me. It had a degree of clarity that I loved. And of course, it was core. View quote
Anne M. Mulcahy
Most of my career has been in sales. I spend 50% or more of my time with customers and employees, and I can't wait for it to be more than 50%. View quote
Anne M. Mulcahy
Brick and mortar businesses - and the communities that depend on them - cannot continue to bear an unfair sales tax burden from which their on-line competitors are effectively exempt. View quote
