The first two minutes of a sale can be the most critical for it is this brief time you have to sell the company on yourself.  And they are after all buying you, not what you have to sell.  The closing ratio goes way down if you can't even sell the one thing you know better than anyone else .... YOU

Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity?

You want to talk about salesman, I just got back from Mazatlan and those people have an answer for everything you say that is negative. Those guys know how to sell.
Could somebody just clean my carpets!

In my opinion.....There is no such thing as a good or bad salesman.....A sale takes place in the customers mind way before you open your mouth talking about your service or product .
 
Sales is all about relationship at first glance.....something like when you see a pretty woman.....what you perceive to be pretty might be ugly for the next guy.
 
Same stands true is sales, if the customer likes you at first glance, the rest is all gravy........even if you goof up on your sales pitch..... all is forgiven.
 
That,s my story..............and I'm sticking to it.

Ah, but good in whose mind?  What is good or bad is a perception, not fact.  While we may all agree that something or someone (Kenny for example) may be bad, it is still a perception.  The facts are what supports our beliefs and the beliefs of those who see it or perceive it differently.

You are a great salesman FH.  That is how I perceive you anyway.  If we could all live our lives through the minds eye of those who see our potential in the most favorable of lights, imagine what new heights we could all reach.

If only.

Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity?

That's why I would never make a good salesman for a product that isn't really good. I can't fake it.

He is an excellent problem solver who knows people more than product and heard say it should be 80% people knowledge with only 20% product knowledge.  On the product side you include what is known about the competition.  He sells customer service, not the product.  The product is part of the solution.  He is the most vital component don't you think?
