February 10, 2011, 13 years ago
Reuters recently caught up with KISS bassist/vocalist and "self-styled marketing genius" GENE SIMMONS to talk about his highly successful business endeavours. An excerpt follows:

"If you take a look at Warren Buffett, Carlos Slim — they don’t use computers and they don’t text. They don’t even talk on the cell. Impersonal social networking is fine for information. But you’re not judged like that. You’re not going to get a job that way."When it comes to pitching business ventures or new ideas, what’s the best way of making your case?
"When you sit there to talk to somebody (in a pitch), you better learn the two most important things: learn how to speak English correctly – it’s the language of money – and learn good people skills. Learn to communicate as well as you can so people give you more money. It’s actually a profoundly simple idea."Click here to read more.
