Outsmart, Outlast and Outclose

“Outsmart, Outlast, Outclose — The Strategy Behind Every Successful Sale”  AndyTheCoach

Sun Tzu wrote:

“The skillful warrior wins first and then goes to war, while the unskilled warrior goes to war first and then seeks to win.”

Sales is the same. The best salespeople win before they sell — by planning, positioning, and perceiving correctly.

You don’t close deals by chance; you close them by strategy.

In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!"
