2. THE ENEMY IS RESISTANCE.

3. YOU CAN TALK - IT'S YOUR MIND THAT HAS TO SHUT UP.

4. GET AND USE A SALES GPS.

5. SLOW DOWN TO SPEED UP.

6. PREVENT HAPPY EARS.

7. PRESENT NO OPTIONS.

8. IT'S ONLY A NUMBERS GAME IF YOU USE THE RIGHT NUMBERS.

9. PRACTICE MAKES PERMANENT.

10. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN OBJECTION.
