We have two ears and one mouth for a reason – we’re meant to listen twice as much as we talk. This maxim is never truer than it is in negotiation. It’s amazing what you will learn about the "true" negotiation position, just by listening better.
Don’t do all the talking – keep asking questions and listen to the answers. -Snowboy

John, It does sound simple. Probably cause it is. The struggle a lot of sales people or some people in general face is that they believe they need to be the one talking all the time or the centre of attention. Just by making a small effort you will find that you have a higher chance of succeeding this. Have a good one. -Snowboy

The emphasis on the point to ask the questions and LISTEN TO THE ANSWERS is what I think a lot of Sales people fail to do. -SexSells

Hey Vic,
Some sales people fail to do so but in general I feel as though it would be a trait that any sales person would be able to establish early on in their careers. -Snowboy
