Irony of selling
  more you try    to sell, less you will really sell
Learnings based on my very recent encounter with
    variety of salespeople while shopping for
              auto & auto insurance
most important,
a seller with an immediate intent to sell...most often fails to sell.
                                      Salespeople unkowningly shout
                                      out that they don’t care about
                                      you nor your requirements.
                                      Their whole intention is to
                                      close the de al as soon as
                                      possible.
                                                < g o o d   t o
                                                unlearn    the
                                                definition
                                                of selling -
                                                act    to sell
                                                something>
Extensive product knowledge is not a skill.

         It is a requirement for
              every salesperson
Untimely automated greetings

 (emails) to acknowledge product

inquiry reflects (non)commitment.
Investment
in listening
to what
customer is
looking for
always d e l i v e r s
        h efty ROI
An authentic
salesperson is
anytime more
 believable &
more effective
        seller
A smile
may not
cost
anything,
but the
value it
may derive
could be
priceless.
Shopping isn’t easy,
reassurance of making the
right choice may act as a
   trigger for purchase
