“The next best thing to being wise oneself is to live in a circle of those who are.”
–C.S. Lewis (1898–1963)
Irish writer, scholar

3 years from now, when your colleagues/ team are talking with someone (at your company or somewhere else), will you be one of the people they describe as positively influential to their growth and career?
It’s your sales life. Choose your people and impact wisely.
“He who ignores discipline despises himself, but whoever heeds correction gains understanding.”
–Proverbs 15:32
You don’t know everything.

It means you must listen with the intent to learn rather than to show what you know – exactly the type of listening required in the sales process.
