Having established my empire back in the late 18th century I think it would take a fool the size of Lincolnshire to claim that I wasn’t very good at selling things. I’ve been there through the highs and the lows and now that we’re back in the lows I should pass on some of my knowledge to those who require it. And here it is:<\/p>\n
“You can sell anything to anyone with the help of some bears.”<\/p>\n

Place whatever it is you want to sell inside a rather large cage then put the bears inside the big cage in a small cage. Cover the bears with a fruit-covered blanket to give the impression of space and open the door to allow people in to inspect what you’re trying to sell. If they don’t look interested or if they try to leave you shut the door of the big cage and threaten to unleash the bears unless they buy your product.<\/p>\n
Simple and effect, this method can be used over and over for repeated success. Try it; you just might like it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
