Great communicators all have great presence, 65% of the impression you leave on someone has little to do with your message, it has to do with your verbal delivery, facial expressions, and body language. It’s important to make eye contact 80 to 90% of the time, maintain an open posture and use hand gestures. Take your hands out of your pockets and be animated in your voice and body.

Never forget that you are selling dreams and products because your customers do not care about our company. They don’t care about your products and services, but they do care about themselves, their hopes and dreams, their goals, and ambitions. Your job as a sales professional is to inspire your customers and help them achieve their dreams. Think about how to communicate and articulate the vision behind your products and services, and then focus on your customer’s needs, hopes and goals.
