		<description><![CDATA[One of the first sales managers I ever had used a saying around the office &#8221; Don&#8217;t confuse efforts with results &#8220;.  That made sense to everybody in the office because if you weren&#8217;t making your number you were going to be fired.  The issue was that there were new reps like myself in the [...]]]></description>
