Missing Link in Effective Prospecting builds a Human Connection

Sept. 28, 2010 - PRLog -- In 1975 he learned very quickly, "First Gain Trust, Then Gain Business" is an unwritten law in selling, explains Dan Lemke.  He discovered the human connection is as important as any relevant facts or steps used throughout the buy/sell cycle with new and existing clients.

The lost art of telling stories woven with how your products/services are "used" by your customers is one of the most powerful ways to make a human connection with new or existing clients. It is also easier for customers to visualize and tell others how to use a product/service within their business when framed within a story.

Dan is often asked, “If our best sales people tell stories naturally, how do we train the rest of the team?"  He explains a way has been discovered to enable sales to create a human connection with others using the power of story, on purpose. Demonstrating competence and building trust with the stories we tell about our company, ourselves, our offerings.
