Develop Your Curiosity
Before you enter into any new sales experience, make sure you bring with you an attitude of positive anticipation and enthusiasm. Anticipate learning something new — whether it’s about your potential client or about the product itself. Be enthusiastic about learning experiences in your daily life, and keep your mind open as to what experiences might apply in future selling situations. What you gain from this book will be directly proportionate to the amount of time you invest studying and practicing the techniques and suggestions offered in its pages. As a result of what you discover, your income will grow right along with the maturity of your knowledge in sales.
