"Never accept no from someone who can't tell you yes." -Damien Lemon, Advertising Rep, Vibe Magazine
Wise words from big hommie D.Lemon at "The Vibes..."
When you have something to sell. It is extremely important that you identify the decision makers. When I first moved to New York in 1999 i knew all of these cats, that would be like "Yo when you get here im going to do this, that, and the third...blah, blah, blah." But what i found out was that even if they wanted to they couldn't do any of the things they promised, because they lacked the power of yes. they would eventually have to go to someone else for the nod. and on most caases they would never make that move to the decisionmaker because they already had a laundry list of request for them already and my request was at the bottom of the list. So, after weeks of calls, meetings, and proposals they would end up just saying NO.
So identify the connect quickly, if they can't say yes, go get another connect-Quickly. Or be prepared to accept the lesson.

The real hustlers understand that! Always remember though that being on top is lonely!
There is a very very thin line between Yes and no. . .
Trust your gut and let the instinctual side be your guide! 99% of the time you know what you know and that will get it done for you! If you listen and learn from the hustle. . .
Believe in your thoughts. . .
