Sales Interviews vs. Sales Calls - No one wants to be on the receiving end of the sales person that shows up to throw up! Yet many sales folks do just that.

Lost opportunity?

Selling to People With Different (even Difficult) Behavioral Styles - Many sales people have unconsciously gravitated to selling to people that are in many ways like them.

Either positively or negatively, the salesperson makes the difference in the mind of the potential customer.
