If you sell toilets, you have to talk about
plumbing.
If you sell insurance, you have to talk about
protection or peace of mind.
If you sell clothing, you have to talk about fit and
fashion.
If you sell real estate, you have to talk about
building equity and home repair.

universe, it can't be taken down easily.”
