Is being a leader more important?

Great point Sharon! It's true that the size of the organization can impact the balance between being a manager and a leader and requires some flexibility. To your point, having a common goal and respect for all members of the organization is extremely important. Based on your experience, what has helped the management lead successfully at your organization?

Increase Your Voicemail Success

Great observation James. The idea is to be creative with your messages so to connect with the people who are still making their way through the buying cycle. If you can continue to build rapport through your messages, the person is more likely to return the call when they are ready to do so. Thank you for your post.
