Thoughtful Thursdays - Leaving a Good Impression

We all want to leave a good impression with people we meet, and future customers are no exception.

Using yourself as an example, what impresses you with when dealing with a sales representative? Over the years I have asked this same question of hundreds of people who have attended sales workshops and there are a few characteristics that are always mentioned:
  • Sound product knowledge
  • Asking relevant questions
  • Neat appearance
  • Good listening skills
  • A feeling of trust
  • Friendly disposition
  • Being helpful
  • Honesty

I believe you will find similar characteristics in your best friends and it is not unreasonable to expect that if you demonstrate the behaviour that you appreciate, you will make a good impression on your prospects and customers.

Remember that people buy from people.

Good selling,
Richard
