Talking French speakers?

Hi,

I'm trying to translate an old joke into French and was wondering if this works:

Quote:
Sûr nous perdons l'argent dans chaque vente mais le succès vient du volume !
The original English version goes "Sure we lose money on each sale but make it up in volume!" But to make sense in French, I need to make sure a proper business term for success or profits is used. This is the best I could come up with but would happily accept any improvements.

Thanks,
Bob Wilson
