- capture a prospect's attention in under two minutes,
- read body language and expressions from both your prospects and coworkers,
- get the prospect to say yes,
- use the "because" reason to your advantage,
- understand how the sales industry works,
- maximize your territory,
- utilize the 80/20 rule,
- network with other departments in your company,
- focus on success, and
- close the sale!
