It's not what you know, it's who you know. We've heard this time and time again but it still rings true. When you're in sales, you meet people. You need to go the extra mile to meet new contacts, get your card in their hand, and hope it makes you either a direct sale or even better, getting a referral source that drives business right to you. This is what every salesperson whether just starting out needs to do in order to become successful in the field.
