Generally, if a customer wants out, track to the cash. And enough with the threats: If a customer has signed a pre-paid annual or multi-year contract in exchange for a discount or other terms, then theres generally no reason to return any pre-paid cash. The contracts are generally not cancellable by their terms, and so you keep the cash. And if cash isnt pre-paid AND a customer stops using your contract at a practical level, there isnt much you can do.

Understanding the Sales Force

As regular readers know, I often use baseball as an analogy to help readers more easily understand the many facets of selling. We are going to discuss closing but we’ll begin with closing’s baseball cousin, scoring. In baseball, when a team is having trouble scoring runs, they don’t usually blame their baserunners. For example, in my son’s senior baseball season at Bard College, he scored only 9 runs in 26 games despite reaching base via hit or walk 35 times.

The true reality is that most startups and small businesses rely on personal savings for initial funds and a third start with less than $5k. Because of this, knowing how to find investors is a critical part of entrepreneurship.
