Great businesses aren’t just about numbers, strategies, or products—they are built on people. And by people, I mean employees and customers. Managing employees well keeps your business running smoothly; managing customers well keeps it growing. At the core, both are about understanding people, building trust, and creating value.
Leadership is managing people inside your business. Sales is managing people outside your business. Master both, and success naturally follows.
