(again)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is the way I look at it; I don't try to "sell" I  Attract - and not in the way a billboard on the highway attracts someone to a furniture store.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Attraction by engagement.  And to be engaged, one needs to ask the right questions. Engage with  "High Intent" - meaning you really do care about the clients' experience with you and your company - even if you do not get the initial "sale".&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And this is the "rub" - all sales people want the sale; most sales people are desperate and insecure to the core.  They do not understand that insecurities and desperation are not "attractive" - think about it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ummm...me thinks another post is in my future about  this subject.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks Ken!&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">GregWalters</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 09 Jul 2008 11:26:59 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
