Working Hard and Becoming Your Dad

So what words of wisdom helped me make run my small business this week? I’m just glad I didn’t see “Frankenweenie.” Here’s a few I liked.

@NoahRickunSales reality: more customers and prospects are lost because of something that you failed to do than because of price.

@DonCooperIf you don't ask your prospect questions, how can you have any idea what they want and need?

@T_Harv_EkerPeople love to buy from confident, relaxed people because confidence gives you high credibility.

@MeghanMBiroHire someone who understands what culture you’re trying to build

@ReformedBroker

@LisaBarone That people waste their time "reasoning" w Web bullies & ego trips baffles me. Stab yourself in the face. Quicker, same result
