There are several truths about sales that we rarely acknowledge. The first is that, in sales, the competition isn't between two or more companies competing for a client's business.

So what are these mistakes that cause salespeople to quit?

For a long time, prospecting was limited to cold calling. Sales managers who couldn't help their team improve their sales effectiveness demanded more phone calls. The only time more activity is needed is when there is too little activity. Leaders who can improve their teams’ results have an advantage in creating opportunities.
