I am always trying to understand:
What are people looking for?
Why are things the way they are?
Why is the layout the way it is?
If it is not working on me, why is it working on other people?
What kind of world view would make this communication effective?
Questions vs. Stories
My favourite part of sales is solving problems and maintaining relationships. You need to be able to formulate a conversation, you need to be intelligent and you need to be genuinely curious if you want to work in sales. I mean that you REALLY have to have a genuine curiosity to understand your clients, their needs and ultimately tie those needs to a solution.
You will need to be good at listening and asking the right questions if you want a career in sales. You will need to be good a storyteller and be coachable. As it’s the season of goodwill, I am offering a free 30 minute non-binding discovery consultation from today to the 30th December. Send me an e-mail to book your time.
