<p>A very unusual subject, but a very important one. Here&#8217;s the rub. Everyone in sales has lied to a potential customer at least once.

That&#8217;s the truth whether you like it or not&#8230;</p>

<p>I hope you enjoyed the radio show today, it was great and the response was terrific, even though there were some technical difficulties with the phone lines.  </p>
<p>I mentioned on the show that you DO NOT want to miss the teleseminar on June 25th. An entire hour dedicated exclusively to overcoming objections in sales. Make sure you go to <strong><a href="http://www.strangeratthedoor.com">my website</a></strong> for all the information. Now to the post of the night. There comes a time when all managers have to draw a line in the sand. In other words, all the techniques you have learned from this blog are great&#8230; </p>
