I have always said that everyone is in sales. Maybe you don’t hold the title of salesperson, but if the business you are in requires you to deal with people, you, my friend, are in sales. At Ziglar Inc., we fully understand that anyone on our staff can make—or lose—a sale. Many years ago our company had a van that displayed our company logo and name in very large print across the full length of the vehicle.
