If you think sales is difficult, try golf!
If you think golf is hard, try being a golf caddie! 

In this episode, I share 8 pieces of valuable advice gleaned from caddying in the British Seniors Open Qualifiers in Scotland and how each of these pearls of wisdom are totally relevant to the profession of sales: 
  1. The role is to serve others
  2. Preparation is your friend 
  3. Be timely 
  4. Be self-aware 
  5. Know your golfer 
  6. Know when to shut up
  7. Be one step ahead 
  8. Mitigate risk
