Even though this article begins as a baseball article, in the fourth paragraph it quickly morphs into a sales article. As my regular readers know, my son is a baseball player - a rising college senior (as of the summer of 2023) - and I still coach him in the batting cage when he's home for the summer.

Isn't that a great analogy for what happens when you miss, or skip a crucial step in the sales process?
