But how we get to these sales is another matter, says Michael Trow, and a big part of the equation may be the myths we've built up around the sales and marketing process. Here are some tips that will bring you to a more realistic way of viewing sales in your company. If you have any additional suggestions, please leave them in the comment section.

I like the phrase "always be listening" as a development from “A – Always, B – Be, C – Closing”. As an experienced purchaser, we had the following saying in supply chain management circles: A purchaser always get a "closing" in contrast to a salesperson. If the deal doesn't go through and a transaction is made, you still have a closing as a purchaser. You got a proof that one of the ingredients (quality, price, lead-time) was not met at this point in time. That is OK to know.
