It's not all about "strategy".
When young @stephenbaugh was working at Fuji Xerox a very successful colleague had this advice for him:
There are three rules if you want to succeed in sales:
1. Get yourself in plenty of debt - it motivates you to go out the door in the morning ;)
2. Don't let anybody see the fear in your eyes. If you're so scared of losing this piece of business, people will wonder why … are you unsuccessful?
3. Build a relationship with the prospect. Is there a personality fit? Nothing else matters until you do, and a bad relationship doesn't work for you or the prospect.
Check out the full story on our album-based marketing webinar.
Cheers, Ian

I wrote a blog post a while back about John. He's a good guy, and I miss him. He shared a lot, and I certainly credit some of my success to him.

I don't know however if #1 above is the best advice. I followed it for ages, by having to much debt and having to get myself out the door each day. But I think there are more positive and inspiring pursuits can motivate you over a much longer time. Ours is now about treasuring peoples stories.
