Five things Salespeople Shouldn’t do
5 Things Salespeople Should Never Do
NEVER allow failure to enter your vocabulary. Redefine everything as a "learning experience" and then focus on figuring out how to get different results.
NEVER talk politics with a prospect or customer -- unless you are 100% sure you're totally aligned. And, even then it might not be smart because other members of the decision team may have different feelings.
NEVER look at your email first thing in the morning. It'll suck you in and you'll lose a couple hours.
NEVER ask questions about things that can easily be found on a company's website. You'll lose credibility and look like a fool.
NEVER look at your cell phone during a meeting. In fact, you should turn it off so you won't be tempted to check a text or see who's calling.
