Key Takeaways:

• An effective sales approach involves a concern for the customer's journey, suggesting a careful balance between being proactive and considerate.
• Industry standards indicate that reaching out to a client between seven to ten times is typical before moving on from them as a prospect, illustrating the necessity of persistence.
• Sales can encompass both 'masculine' assertive energy and authentic, service-oriented interactions; embracing both can enhance sales effectiveness.
• A "wins folder" can serve as a powerful motivational tool, containing positive feedback and testimonials to encourage persistence in sales activities.
• Automating outreach, establishing a referral/reward system, and shifting one's mindset toward sales as a naturally occurring, everyday activity can make the process feel less burdensome and more integrated with normal business practices.
