Sales Statistics

I have these sales statistics hanging on my wall right above my computer and every time I think I have lost a prospect I look at it and contact them one more time. Why because in my experence it is right! Don't give up just because you sent out one postcard and did not get a great response. Keep marketing and continue to connect with your target market.
