The Principles of Entrepreneurs

How Precise Economic Philosophy Empowers Sales

If you’re a member of a sales force, or in sales management, there is always practical information you must know. You need to know as much as possible about your own products. You need to have a firm grounding in your particular industry and market. Today especially you must have as much insight as possible into your prospect companies, their buying processes, and their decision-makers.

But what about the overall economic environment in which you operate? Seen or unseen, that environment has principles operating every minute of every day.
