Well that's just patently absurd.
Sometime's it's a product failure. You can shit in a box and call it a diamond all day; market it all you want. But if you're selling shit it's still just a box of shit.
It takes a lifelong (arrogant as ****) salesman to believe that every failed business is because someone just didn't sell it well enough. Oh sure - many of them are. But sometimes you just aren't providing a product that a market wants, no matter how badly you try to convince them that they want it.
It's a quaint pitch that I'd expect to hear in Glengarry Glenn Ross, but it's wrong.
