5 Sales Secrets You Need to Close More Sales Lark Dean Galley.com I was sitting at my desk with the phone still in my hand from the 10 th prospect turning me down for a meeting. My hand was shaking as I slowly hung up the receiver. I had just started a new job in sales and didn’t have a clue what I was doing!
