Q: Lassons' Didactic Doggerel: The bottom-line...

If sales is vanity, profit is sanity and cash is a fact Then you’d better stop talking, get up and act Cause selling what you produce is of no great use If you’re selling champagne at the price of juice And even if you’re raising your prices, which is great That really won’t help if the payment is too late So know what to sell and to what price And package it well so that it looks nice If you need to give discounts to make it a bargain Than do be aware you are gambling with your margin And finally to not make the loss greater Cash in is worth so much more now than later!
