Do: make inquiry and discovery a centerpiece of your sales appointments.Don’t: Rely on show and tell, and walk away without knowing what your client really wants.Do: see the world through your client’s eyes. Understand the outcomes your client seeks—not just the product features.Don’t: assume that your client cares about your company or your products.Do: make your motivations transparent, and insist on transparency in return.Don’t: create an environment that stifles candor and honesty.Do: respect your client’s decision options throughout the sales process.Don’t: assume only one possible outcome for your sales engagement.
