Starting From Scratch a Decade Later

BEST TIP:  ASK for the direct dials and cell phone numbers of the decision-makers you are trying to reach. I know that sounds silly, but often we are not even asking for the information that we need. Expect a low rate of return on this request. You may ask 10 ga...
