Prospecting is the lifeblood of sales success. Most people that have made it past their first 12-24 months of sales realize this basic fact.

But I have seen some people that are committed prospectors make one mistake over and over, failing to realize that prospecting and selling are distinctly different parts of a successful business development process.
