Listening Is Tough For Sales People

by Mike Sigers

stop-and-listen

“Waiting to talk is vastly different than listening.”

I heard someone say that today and it immediately made me think of the sales process, even more so than interaction such as we have with co-workers or family.

I am THE most guilty person on the planet of committing this sin.

I want to get better at it with my family and friends.

I need to get better at it to be even more successful in my sales career.

I’m better at it today than I was a year or two ago.

The difference is now I’m more detached from the outcome of the sales process. I learned about detachment from these guys. A couple of guys who are some of the best sales trainers on the planet.

I’d like even more help, so I can get better quicker.

If you know of a resource, an article, are willing to write a guest post, whatever you got, leave it in the comments and you’ll have my undying gratitude.

Thanks in advance.
