This week I thought I would change it up with a few inspirational quotes that have had an impact on my career and many of those around me. If you’re tackling that next big project or adventuring into new sales territory then a lot of these quotes can apply to every day actions you’re taking. I typically have a number of quotes surrounding different areas of my life whether on my computer desktop, email reminders or even on a mirror. A lot of these leaders, whether in business, science or sport, have had an impact on others in a big way. Here are my 10 Inspiring Quotes in Sales:
