sellers are stereotyped




© 2008 true colors consulting llc
Sellers are…                       greedy
                                     poor listeners
                                     after the sale
                                    money hungry
                                                etc.

the stereotype
                                    didn’t get here
                                        overnight,
                                           it was…

the invisible wall of distrust

how do sellers deal with “the wall”?

the invisible wall of distrust
                                     Unaware
                                       Ignore

sell…
                                    a four letter word to many

The breadth of corruption laid out
    in these charges is staggering
    quot;They allege that Blagojevich put
    a 'for sale' sign on the naming of a
    United States Senator; involved
quot;
    himself personally in pay-to-play
    schemes with the urgency of a
    salesman meeting his annual sales
    target…
a cumulative effect…

paradox in selling



© 2008 true colors consulting llc
The less we try to make the sale
                           and the more we make trust the
    quot;
                           sale, the more successful we are
                           as sellers.

isn’t trust just touchy feely?
Trust is real, hard-edged and
                                    quantifiable
                                                         The Speed of Trust, Stephen M.R. Covey
