The GREAT salespeople know what the biggest problem in sales is. This awareness and constant vigilance towards it is that one thing that makes them GREAT and separates themselves in the marketplace.
The GREAT Salespeople know that the biggest problem in sales is obscurity. The idea of not being known or thought of or remembered is the GREAT salesperson’s biggest problem. It is the greatest concern to these people.
