However, that tendency in startups can lead to burned-out sales reps and a business ill-prepared to scale. That's why the goal shouldn't be to grow fast but to grow better. So when you experience slow business, remember that slow and steady wins the race.

Salespeople make critical prospect connections, communicate the value of your product or service, and directly impact your bottom line.

Instead, they want a personalized experience and value a company that stays true to who they are, what they do, and who they serve. Using not-so-catchy sales phrases and the wrong language when meeting with prospects will drastically reduce the chance of getting another meeting.
