60-something years ago, sales was a very different game. . Back then, salesmen – I mean sales people (glad that’s changed) – would button up their best suits, court prospective clients in-person with bone-in steaks, and discuss business over a handful of dirty martinis. .

Knowledge is power. We try to accumulate as much knowledge as we can. It gives us deeper understanding, it gives us insight, it helps us learn things or become aware of things we may have missed. The more knowledge we have, the better prepared we might be in addressing challenges, recognizing new opportunities, and managing risk. Knowledge is power.

Daily, my inbox, voicemail, texts, and social feeds are filled with prospecting outreaches–people trying to sell me, helping me sell more/better. As you might guess, most of it is appalling!
