Personal Stories Sell

One thing a sales rep can do better than any brochure, is tell personal stories about the products or service. When I went to Ridley's Cycle in Calgary to look at mountain bikes, I didn't pick the one with the most detailed spec sheet. Instead, I took the advice of the employee who was obviously an avid mountain biker. He described his experience of test riding their bikes with such enthusiasm, I ended up buying two (one for a friend). Brochures may be necessary - but it's people and personal stories that create instant buying behavior.

Today's Chuckle:

Life is nothing like the brochure
