Persistence is My Favorite Business Tool Persistence is often what separates successful start-ups from those that fail. I'm most persistent when it comes to publicity.

As a result my budget severely limited the number of outlets to which I sent my release, and I felt that I overspent (which you know I hate) without fully utilizing this marketing tool...
