The dividing line for me, between a salesman and a conman, has always been that one has a substantial product line and the other doesn't. If you have no faith in, or no knowledge of, the product line you're dealing with, essentially it comes to the same thing. The difference comes out for those with the eyes and ears to see and hear. You must assess your market accurately, yes, even before deciding on location, along with your ability to provide what they want, at the price they can afford, but if you don't respect and even love your product you're heading nowhere but the next town.
