If you’re trying to increase your sales and perhaps overcoming obstacles, the key is enhance your vision and transactional mindset.
Sales people with a transactional mindset want an exchange of value. The problem for these people with this limited thinking is they prioritize getting immediate benefits at the expense of developing deep connections for long-term relationships.
