No matter how good you are, you’ll occasionally make mistakes. And you’ll lose customers—often the customers you worked hardest to acquire —because of mistakes. It’s inevitable. How you behave immediately after a misstep will determine whether the client is gone forever or whether you can win him or her back. Face the music. Hiding is one of the two worst things you can do when you’ve made a mistake that causes a customer to leave.

But as you scale a business there’s a risk of losing that dynamism. Idea management enables big companies to capture great ideas where and when they occur.

But if you want to hire a sales superstar, you have to be a hiring superstar. The first problem most small-business owners have in hiring salespeople is that they start with faulty assumptions. Owners often believe that if a wannabe salesperson has listed sales experience on his or her résumé, then the job candidate knows how to sell.
