One guy—mid 40’s, tall and lanky—started walking towards the Starbucks, and when he entered the store, I recognized him from many years before when we were both struggling inside sales reps trying to sell investments over the phone. I invested in Stan’s training program, “Double Your Income Selling Over the Phone.” Yes” I said.

Sales people like to talk; if you don’t believe me, just listen to a recording of one of your reps (or of yourself!). And when your ears are closed, you learn nothing about your prospect’s buying motives, their possible objections, or whether or not they are buying into your pitch. Why do sales reps talk so much? Rewrite it.
