Exploring through the lens of the buyer and the baby mentality of business Overcoming the fear of selling and scratching the start-up itch What does a good lead look like? Ideas are one thing, but distribution is everything Three elements to nailing selling “If a salesperson doesn’t believe in CRM and the benefits of looking for insight and trends or to address problems, then they’re operating more as an island, and that’s not scalable. They’re not the type of players you will need in your team as you grow.” – Vinnie Lynch.
