HIGHLIGHT QUOTES The importance of asking for referrals - Joanne: "Because as salespeople we have the relationships and when we've closed a deal, we've talked to more than one person. Typically, yes, right. And we know when we've clicked with people, it's not everybody, but I imagine there must be three or four people that we've connected with during the buying process. All those people we can ask and they're glad to help, they just don't know what to do."
