Editor's Notes

  1. aside the generic pitch is by far was the one thing reps can do improve the relationship. Don’t sell, consult. Key message is don’t sell me, put aside the generic pitch, then know my business, don’t make me educate you, then next most important thing is make sure you bring the right ppl to the mtg. Come in and tell me how you can improve my business – know my industry, know my market – go in with a game plan to uncover and discover their needs and objectives (sharing trends analysis that will have a conversation) Decision makers may be extremely busy today, but they always have time for sellers who bring value.
