A message sent to all members of the American Sales Organization at the opening of the IBM Election Prize Contest September 1 1932. In every walk of life the highest places and the greatest rewards go to those who have the courage to attempt and ability to achieve big things. That is true in science. It is true in government. It is true in business. And it is true in this organization. IBM leaders in the past have proved their worth by performance just as they will in this sales campaign.

We are all salesmen every day of our lives. We are selling our ideas our plans our enthusiasms to those with whom we come in contact.
Confidence and enthusiasm are the greatest sales producers in any kind of economy.
Every one lives by selling something.
Samson killed a thousand men with the jaw bone of an ass. That many sales are killed every day with the same weapon.
