limited, whereas imagination embraces the whole world.
o Gather facts which bear on the problem and its possible solution.
o We should not accept opinions until we know all facts.
o Write down every idea that comes – good or bad.
o Check each idea against our definition of the problem.
o Ask outsiders / customers or insiders / team to pass on promising
ideas
Remember that good ideas just flow when you need them

The fear of loss is greater than the desire for gain.
Need to establish in your customers’ mind the fact
that he is safe in dealing with you, that he won’t
lose (either money or “face”) by buying from you,
but will lose (product benefits) if he doesn't buy
from you.
Don’t just convince, persuade – give good advice
in advance.
