some don't believe in the marketing power of the written and spoken word...

Tell that to a reader of Mein Kampf or the Holy Bible

So on a lighter note, here are some of OurMart's favourite quotes and wherever possible, we've listed where we read, saw or heard them... 

"in every adversity, there lies a seed of equal or greater benefit"

- Dr. Schuller

"if you think you can or you think you can't - you're probably right"

- Henry Ford? - the point being that we are in control of pretty much every action we take. It all starts inside!

"when dealing with people, imagine everyone you meet is wearing a badge saying 'Make Me Feel Important' "

- Dale Carnegie - How to Win Friends and Influence People - a great book for how to deal effectively with people in all walks of life. A marketing must-have book to help you get the best from everyone you meet.

"potential minus commitment equals ZERO"

- Dean Frey - American Entrepreneur at a sales & marketing conference in 2006. No matter how good an idea is, or the potential, if the commitment to making it work isn't there, it'll never happen.

"what's your style? My style? You can call it, the art of fighting without fighting"

- Bruce Lee in enter the Dragon - just before he fights the Aussie without fighting! A classic case of think, before you speak, before you act - a sales and marketing essential!

"once you've read this book, women, you will pity men"

Allan Pease at the beginning of his book 'why men don't listen and women can't read maps' - This book taught us the value of dealing with people according to their traits and physical abilities. It also helped us to better understand non-verbal communication.
