One of the fastest ways to become more effective in sales is to admit what you don’t know—and then learn it.
I’ve worked with people who can naturally strike up conversations with women shopping in the boutique because they recognize the latest handbag, designer shoes, or fashion trends.
Me? I can easily connect with men over watches, cars, business, or even recognize an area code and start a conversation about where someone is from—but women’s fashion has never been my strong suit.
Instead of accepting that limitation, I recently asked a knowledgeable colleague, “Would you teach me what to look for?”
Not so I can throw out rehearsed compliments, but so I can recognize what matters to the person in front of me and begin a genuine conversation.
Being likable may open the door, but trust is what keeps it open—and people are far more likely to buy from someone they both like and trust.
If there’s an area preventing you from connecting with certain clients, don’t remain naïve about it: find someone who knows more than you, ask questions, and learn.
What could you learn this week that would help you connect with more prospects next week?
If you’re serious about closing more high-value clients, I’m breaking this down in a private training.
