Today's show featured an interview with sales expert Andy Miller of Big Swift Kick.

ANDY'S TIP:  "It's really about relationship. And you know, in sales you have to have whatever your service or product is, has to at least meet the minimal acceptable to get the job done. But relationship is everything in sales and RFPs and account management.  People will help you succeed if they know you like you and trust you. Liking you is not enough. Trusting you is not enough. But they need to know you like you, trust you, and they will help you. And some of the components of that is, to me, get curious, get fascinated by people, get to really know them. Stop viewing them as somebody to get you to a transaction or a deal or a close, just get to know them."
