People have to trust you to buy from you.
You have to prospect more than you just sit on your butt.
You've got to really position yourself as that subject matter expert.
Persistence wins.
Sales is where you build a relationship.
You got to differentiate yourself in every touch point.
Sales is helping others.
Everything is sales.
You have to sell yourself differently.
Don't take it personal when the prospect ignores you. Every job is a sales job, even interviews.
Sales conversations happen in everyday situations.
