" It doesn&amp;#039;t matter what you do for a living; it&amp;#039;s all sales. It&amp;#039;s making people feel good about doing business with you, whether business means a cup of coffee, a bite to eat, and a half hour of talk or a night of stolen, steamy bliss. Calling it charm just makes it sound sexy; hell, talking about it at all makes it sound dishonest. It&amp;#039;s not. It&amp;#039;s human nature at its most natural. You meet me. My voice is firm and sunny. I&amp;#039;m smiling. A smile is a primal thing, mighty past words. What it comes down to is simple: You have to trust your stuff. I have my flaws \u2014 plenty of &amp;#039;em. But just take a gander at the dark sea of mopery that passes for competition: I&amp;#039;m a godling by comparison, and so are you. The first thing I&amp;#039;m going to say is, &amp;quot;Thanks for making time for me.&amp;quot; Doesn&amp;#039;t matter if you&amp;#039;re Sean Penn or a taxi driver, you don&amp;#039;t owe me squat. We&amp;#039;re going to share a few moments; the only lives we&amp;#039;re ever going to live have joined right here and now. You made that happen; I owe you. Let&amp;#039;s have some fun. The next thing I&amp;#039;m going to do is ask about you. I&amp;#039;m going to learn about you, and I&amp;#039;m going to learn from you. I&amp;#039;m going to make you feel important; because we&amp;#039;re together, you are important. Then comes the coup de gr\u00E2ce: I&amp;#039;m going to make you laugh. I don&amp;#039;t know how to tell you to do this; you must trust your instincts. Genuine laughter is no less than a social orgasm. Provoke it and the world will drop its drawers for you. These aren&amp;#039;t tricks. The only trick is that there are no tricks, just a planet full of folks \u2014 rich and poor alike \u2014 all hoping to get treated better than dirt. I can give them that gift. You can, too. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
