Consistency or the lack of consistency can be the difference between success or failure in your business. This month some of our trainers write on this topic and drill down on the importance of consistency in your business.

Last month we focused on prospecting. We are fortunate to have some of our authors continue on that subject by looking at it from another angle. Are we trying to close our prospects or are our prospects closing us. It’s like a double header this month! Enjoy both feature subjects in this month’s issue!

Aim High!
