And I don't think it's a knee-jerk reaction. If someone is trying to talk to me for five minutes before they bother to tell me what the product is, then I don't feel that person is in integrity. Or treating me like I have any intelligence. You are just getting someone in the habit of saying 'yes' to you. Yes, I could use more money. Yes, I would like more freedom to work. Yes, younger looking skin would be amazing. Yes, yes, yes, yes...wait, did I just buy something? Seriously, though, what are you selling? What's so great about a 'live sales conversation'? I get it - you're in sales and I am not. You make more money than I do. But if your product is so amazing and spectacular, why not just tell me up-front what it is?
