They’re not his sales team. He wants to increase his sales, and I suggested he consider turning these employees into salespeople. “But that’s not their job!” he protested. Exactly. And that’s why most business owners overlook their greatest underutilized asset – their non sales employees. I got very excited when I realized that there Second, make the sale a legitimate one.
