@Paul Zelizer, Thanks for the comment! Selling really is about connecting, and you can only connect if you are listening to the needs, wants, and desires of the client.

Well said! It’s about listening much more and selling (as the word is traditionally used) less.

Thanks for sharing your wisdom Tshombe.

I am all for focusing on the customer’s needs and wants and not being self focused in the way you describe. And, I think people often make the opposite mistake when deciding what kind of business to go into or what target market or niche to focus on. In that case, I say focus on what YOU love, not on what you think will SELL or what others want you to sell. I find that people confuse both of these lessons and end up interchanging them erroneously. Start with what YOU love and then, within that realm, focus on them and what they need and want.
