Throw Out Your Selling Language - Unlock Your Natural Voice
But we go into sales situations with agendas and assumptions. Our hidden agenda and their reaction immediately destroy the trust-building process of communication. And because we've been conditioned that a sale can happen only if we control the process, we never even consider the possibility that there can be total flexibility in how we communicate and build trust.
