11 Things to Start doing for Yourself in Sales Spending time with the Right People – Those who know things about Sales, that typically only the College of HardKnocks, can teach you. The right people appreciate you, encourage you to improve in a healthy and challenging way. These people will make you more alive (if that is possible). Make them your role models.
