The quicker you identify those needs the greater opportunity you'll have to provide them with what they want. They really want to buy, give them their options and let the options sell for you.

He wanted me to buy the one he liked the most. He did not take the time to ask me what I wanted so that he could give me the best solution. I am not a salesman but I surely am a client and so often have people not thought about me while trying to sell to me. So yes what you say makes perfect sense.

Of course some people have a easier learning curve but at the end it just comes down to practice. If you practice enough you'll get the skill and it will be very easy to convey the value of your products. Just my 2c. Andy Selling is a skill just like playing a sport is.

I also believe that sometimes, a voice of a person, can help in their selling. No offense... but someone with a SUPER annoying voice, it is going to be SUPER hard to overcome that! Great Article!

I did this by taking my digital photography skills and teaching a beginner's class for the local recreation dept. I've done three six week sessions a year since 2006 and I have gotten a client out of each session. I'm getting ready to post the lessons to a blog to expand my audience beyond the local region.

Maybe...Imagine that...Meet your customer's needs to make a profit. It only makes the game more fun that their needs are changing, not to mention that all customers are not looking for the same needs to be satisfied...One person wants a car to do the job, while the next wants a car to satisfy his ego. It's intriguing to realize that customers and clients frequently don't really know what they need. John, thanks for posting on a fascinating marketing topic.

You've grabbed onto something here that is both elegantly simple and still far out of reach for most businesses. Is it that we can't be all things to all people, or that we haven't quite tapped into a universal appeal. I hate to beat a dead horse (and I'm certainly not one of their evangelists), but Zappos is a relevant model. People need shoes and personal attention in their shopping experience... POOF! Zappos sells a bazillion shoes. Anyhoo great post! Agreed in spades. You’ve grabbed onto something here that is both elegantly simple and still far out of reach for most businesses.
