Regardless of what business or environment one is in, the applicability of these ideas are universal. 1. New prospects are the lifeblood of a business. 2. Selling is a "Numbers Game." The more you contact, the more you close. 3. Without new prospects, all presenting and closing skills are worthless. 4.

Like many other things in the universe, these two also go hand in hand. In architecture, you would come across phases like establishment of relationship between the interior of the space and the exterior. However, the question that arises is how is it possible?

I see your job as a parent similar to being a gardener - where you sow seeds of confidence through nurturin...
