Hi,

I have recently identified what I believe is a void in the B2B world and thus have created a business to address this void. Initially, I will be acting as the one and only salesperson, something I have never done before but I am ready to jump in. I know that getting that first sale is the hardest and that I will have to stay focused and determined and not succumb to doubts or let "no" stop me from forging on.

What is the one (or two!) piece(s) of advice you would bestow upon someone entering B2B sales?

I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
