Today&#8217;s tip comes from Veronica McGibney. Veronica describes herself as a Fashionista turned SALESista. Shes an experienced SDR, BDR and manager and is driven by creativity and relationships and she takes pride in being authentic. Here she is:<\/p>\n<p>Veronica McGibney: Hello. My sales tip is to always ask questions, never feel intimidated or embarrassed to ask a question. It can be scary to be that vulnerable, to show people potentially a weakness because we may not know something, but just recently as I was networking and building relationships on LinkedIn, a couple sales leaders were talking about different acronyms. And instead of liking it saying that I agree, I took a step and I said, &#8220;What does this mean?&#8221; And I was nervous because I didn&#8217;t want to seem stupid, but because I asked, I learned and now that&#8217;s something else I have in my arsenal of knowledge and information. So never be afraid to ask questions.<\/p>\n<p>Scott Ingram: For more about Veronica and to connect with her on LinkedIn, just click over to <a href=\"http:\/\/DailySales.Tips\/669\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DailySales.Tips\/669<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then, be sure to come back tomorrow for another great sales tip.
