Referral Selling Top Tip #1: When you just get a name, you’re making a cold call. Stop. Referrals make your calls HOT! . There’s No Such Thing as a Warm Call.

You’re definitely interrupting the person, and you sound like one of those pesky telemarketers who believe you need 10 to 12 touches to actually talk t

Catching up is a fallacy, a myth, a wish, a hope, and plain unrealistic. Don’t get me wrong. We try. That’s why we work weekends and vacations, and stay glued to our Blackberry and iPhone.
