Alexander Graham Bell was an American inventor most famous for inventing the telephone.  Here are some of his quotes:

• When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us
• The most successful men in the end are those whose success is the result of steady accretion
• America is a country of inventors, and the greatest of inventors are the newspaper men
• Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds. I may be given credit for having blazed the trail, but when I look at the subsequent developments I feel the credit is due to others rather than to myself
• The nation that secures control of the air will ultimately control the world
• A man, as a general rule, owes very little to what he is born with - a man is what he makes of himself
• What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds it
• Before anything else, preparation is the key to success
• Neither the Army nor the Navy is of any protection, or very little protection, against aerial raids
• Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing that we see too late the one that is open
• Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus

Col. Harland Sanders was an American entrepreneur, famous for founding the restaurant chain, Kentucky Fried Chicken.  He started franchising KFC restaurants at the ripe young age of 65.  Here are some of his quotes:

• You got to like your work. You have got to like what you are doing, you have got to be doing something worthwhile so you can like it -- because it is worthwhile, that it makes a difference, don't you see?
• I made a resolve then that I was going to amount to something if I could. And no hours, nor amount of labor, nor amount of money would deter me from giving the best that there was in me. And I have done that ever since, and I win by it. I know
• There's no reason to be the richest man in the cemetery. You can't do any business from there
• Don't be against things so much as for things

Defensive Entrepreneurs need to make sales.  There are many ways to close a sale, but they need to be learned.  Here is an approach to help close a sale-- the no-brainer offer.

This is a simple closing concept.  Simply make the deal a no-brainer offer by saving them money or giving them more for the same money they already spend.

This approach puts the buyer in a position of having an offer they can't refuse-- they would look stupid for declining.  It appeals to their greed.

Here is how this works: "Mr. Buyer, this proposal saves you $x per month or gives you twice as much for what you are paying right now-- It's a no-brainer . . . just sign here"

Henry Ford was an American industrialist and entrepreneur, best known for his Ford Motor Co.  Here is a recap of my posts of his quotes:

Defensive Entrepreneurs need to make sales.  There are many ways to close a sale, but they need to be learned.  Here is an approach to help close a sale-- the limited time offer.

This is a simple closing concept.  Simply make the deal a limited time offer by putting a deadline on the offer, mention an impending price increase, or a product/service phaseout.

This approach puts a little pressure on the buyer to act now or soon, as opposed to waiting until later.  It makes them not want to lose or miss out.

Here is how this works: "Mr. Buyer, the supplier is increasing the costs on this product next month, so the price is going up-- let's lock in the lower cost right now . . . "
