Quote of the Week

"The ability to communicate with everybody, regardless of who are you are, is a great thing." -- Bobby Bonilla, Baseball Player

Being able to talk to people is one of the most important things you can learn as a salesperson. After all, if you can ease into a conversation, people will feel comfortable with you - and if they're comfortable they're more likely to buy.

How do you get better at any skill? Practice. The next time you're out running errands, try to connect with the people you meet. Ask them a question or comment on what they're looking at. I've found that if you can talk to a complete stranger at the grocery store, then you can definitely talk to a prospect about something you're passionate about - your product!
