I agree with Mister Dave, but mostly in the sense that it's different strokes/folks. I don't imagine that the "more No's than you" is a final prescription, just a metaphor for perseverance, and backbone. Perhaps people who've heard more "yes" are actually more successful than Barb. But the point is that this is semantics, and juggling the language to make a point. I think both Barb and you made and make good points. I do disagree with the phone though, as we realize often enough that you have to do something different that what 98% of people out there are doing, and the phone is still the lost art, and the way to make a real connection. And my favorite is your title- one truth among many. But if you can't fill your jobs, maybe you should be making more marketing calls to get the "fillable" ones...
