I am an entrepreneur at heart and believe that high sales is the number one reason for business success. You can sell yourself out of any financial challenges you might be facing. The key for any business is to increase their revenue. Most business owners believe this to be an expensive marketing exercise having to spend lots of already hard earned cash on elaborate marketing campaigns. They key however is to have a strong sales person with a phone and the confidence to use it. I have mentored many sales individuals in my life and managed teams of various capabilities with roles spanning sales and sales support. If you are a business owner and you want to increase your revenue then you need to sharpen the axe (train your sales machine). I am that coarse whetstone that is going to give your axe the edge of a brand new straight razor.
