There are some people who were born to sell and others who couldn’t sell if their life depended on it. Of course, we realize that it is possible for anybody to learn any trade, they just need to put the time into doing it and perhaps to understand what is actually going on behind the scenes. This includes anybody who works in the marketing industry, regardless of whether it’s direct marketing, Internet marketing, or even multilevel marketing. Perhaps you have had a difficult time wrapping your head around these different types of marketing and what each of them actually means. You don’t have to worry any longer, because they are explained perfectly in this story about parties.

4. You’re at a party and see a gorgeous girl. You get up and straighten your tie, you walk up to her and pour her a drink, you open the door (of the car) for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her ride and then say:’By the way, I’m rich. Will you ‘Marry Me?’ – That’s Public Relations’
