14 Sales Quotes to Motivate Your Team

What’s keeping you or your sales team from having your best B2B sales quarter and year ever? It all comes down to motivation. If your salespeople aren’t motivated, they’re not going to pick up the phone, which leads to conversations, sales, and revenue.

Note, they’re not going to get a “yes” on every phone call and sometimes on any call on a given day, unless your company sells something unique that every person on the planet needs (and if you are, you don’t need this blog, but you could probably use a new dialing solution to make even more calls…)
