Talk too much?

Larry Janesky: Think Daily

In a sales situation there’s a time for talking, but not until you listen first. This is what a typical sales call may demand –

First 40% of the time – ask questions and listen, and ask follow-up and clarification questions and listen more. 

Next 40% of the time – Speak passionately – give information and transfer enthusiasm. 

Last 20% – ask questions and listen.

Are you and your people doing it something like this?  Are you sure?
