Basically, at the end of the day when it is all said and done we need to take a big picture customer-centric approach at the 30,000 foot level to organically grow the business so we’re all on the same page working together as a team during these tough times. Having said that and to be perfectly honest, it’s not rocket science to think outside the box and reach out to customers to drive revenue via win-win relationships even when they tell us to talk to the hand so to speak. We should agree to disagree and find a better way to not take no for answer because we are working twenty-four by seven to make the number. With this in mind, here’s a lighthearted look at all-time favorite sales manager sayings, catch phrases, and clichés.
