Your referral network is your net worth in sales. Don’t forget to nurture it. “How do I ask for a referral from customers I haven’t spoken with in two years?” That’s what a client asked me a couple years ago, and I was baffled by his revelation.

This is true even if you have a VP of sales or another C-level person focused exclusively on the sales process. While these people help in leading your sales team and operations, the CEO’s role in sales is to lead the overall sales vision: everything from culture and mindset to mission and goals.

Hopefully, most sales people recognize they create more value when they are being helpful to the customer. Just focusing on getting the order isn’t very helpful, we need to move past that.
