• Learn to love your inner sales person
• Low hanging fruit is not a great business strategy
• Your sales function is as good or bad as we make it
• Use stories to engage your customers
• Data explains Stories inspire
• Invest time in discovering your sales story
How do I know which stories to share with which customers ?
The purpose of dialogue is to reach a mature understanding of what the client values most..

Dialogue Builds Rapport
• When there is little or no difference in the perceived value offered between the two or more products you will buy from the person you like the most.
• The most interesting people you will ever meet will be the people who are most interested in you
• People like to be sold to in their own language not yours
Dialogue builds faith in your product
•The customer’s faith in your product as a solution to their problem is directly proportional to how well they believe that you understand their problem
Customers have a unique perspective
Dialogue opens up new possibilities
