The difference between business success and business failure is: Business. Every business needs to advertise, every business needs to cold call, and every business needs to generate referrals. Here's the kicker: The skills we learn to close a sale don't work for generating referrals. Asking for a referral can signal the end of a relationship. Evading the question of price leads . . . nowhere. Long lists of potential clients result in a yawn and a change of subject. Everything about generating …

It seems our wonderful group of Delt Wives (as I like to call us) have grown up....er, matured....er, gotten older and wiser and somehow we all have kids now. Who decided that was a good idea???? Ok, lets be honest - it was a great idea!
