Nathan,Nathan,Nathan,what am I gonna do with you?
.. I get offended by self appointed ,"important" know it all professionals.. so yes you did prove your point... if your questions were private ,why expect answers in public ? going to friendly competitor facilities and asking " how's it going ?" should not be made to sound like a Board of Director's meeting of a Secret Selling Society.... the industry I successfully retired from is larger than yours ( hahahaha
) and tighter and with more tips to share.... if you want to know the secrets to "closing a sale", (even though semi-retired,that's my real job).. For $4,000.00 ( plus travel expenses) I'll give you one week of ( to quote my presentation intro letter) "The MAIN thing is to increase your company value.Consultative Selling emphasizing client needs and meeting those needs with solutions combining products and/or services."...Listening,understanding, and providing,with the goal of excellent ROI, happy customers, engaged employees and simple procedures" and lastly there is absolutely zero being accomplished by your posting here ( and my childish replies ) so let's not continue in this style..if it ain't positive , don't say it,,,agreed?
