Episode #461: Tenacious

/in , , , /by

In this episode of The Advanced Selling Podcast, Bill and Bryan answer a CoVideo Mailbag question about the difference between being tenacious and being persistent. We always seem to laud the sales person who doesn’t take no for an answer, and in so doing, can be annoying.
