⚠️ Always consult your legal counsel and compliance officer before using any sales and marketing tactic. Laws and regulations are constantly changing.
Jeffrey Gitomer tells us in his Little Red Book of Selling that “You” is one of the most important words in sales. This may sound surprising when we always talk about “customers first,” “the customer is always right,” and “customer-centric.”
