How to Leverage a Strategic Sales Mindset: Are you frustrated because you aren’t differentiating yourself from other salespeople? Are you tired of being commoditized by your customers? If you answer yes to one or both questions you are overly focused on the logistical side of the business and misunderstanding what your partnership with clients should be.
