Too often, sales professionals can get caught up in the game, pursuing money and the sometimes literal trappings of a conspicuous consumerist lifestyle.

Closing the deal can be challenging—but it doesn’t have to be. In most cases, sellers lose deals because they don’t make the right connection with the buyer, leading to buyer apathy, indecision and stalled progress. Often, this happens because sellers have simply taken the wrong approach: one that doesn’t speak to their particular buyer. Admittedly, it can be difficult to hone in what the right approach should be.
