"The sale process starts sooner than a lot of people think."

The sale process starts sooner than most people think, with the marketing phase being the beginning of the sale. The decision to say yes or no can happen at any point in the process, and delaying the decision can decrease excitement for the product or service. The role of the closer is to handle objections and ensure the sale is closed. It is important to have a clear distinction between marketing and sales roles, as they require different skills.
