In the sales industry, the word "No" only signifies the customer's lack of information. We are all programed to say no to anything we do not understand or are knowledgable about. No is really a cry for help. No is a starting point and is not the end. But for many of us, we take the word as a final ending obstacle facing our future advancement. We simply give up.
