Many sales professionals are master communicators and have the ability to talk their way through just about any situation but lack the skills to use their natural demeanor to their advantage in a presentation. Other sales professionals have the skills to build powerful presentations but lack the communication skills to reinforce their message.
The Effective Sales professional is able to look for and identify levels of client acceptance. And he realizes that it is only through tracking and responding to these levels that the sales may precede to the close.
The ability to understand one’s selling style, the pattern of one’s behaviours, as perceived by clients will determine how much influence you have on them. If a Sales professional is seen as being more concerned about the client (client focus) rather than product (product focus), will in the long run be more successful than others.
