Beginning in 1953, the Person to Person program developed out of “Edward R. Murrow’s belief that human beings are innately curious. That curiosity was intense regarding the private lives of public people, or visiting the extraordinary in the most ordinary environment—the home.

The #1 sales problem most salespeople face is the challenge in finding prospects. I’ll even go one step further and argue that it’s not finding prospects that is the problem, it’s finding good prospects.
