"Boss, if you come with me, I think we can close this one." How many times do your salespeople run to you with that one? Of course, you can't get mad at them: you trained them!

The real answer, much more difficult to implement, is to install a sales culture and a sales process that is foolproof.

I wonder if the sales call has a lot of life left in it.
