Carnegie thought he was talking about sales, but he was really talking about tools for social engineering, which is a skill that hackers have been interested in for decades.

He's talking about being a kind person. It has nothing to do with social engineering, but yes it does make people like you.

I was commenting too literally about the traditional sales process he established.
