Mind-reading magic.

When we are meeting new clients or prospecting, creating rapport is difficult. We jump into our sales presentation of features, facts, and benefits way too quickly.

So where does the "battle" occur in our business? In the six inches between our prospects' ears. The flip chart, the online video, the glossy brochure ... all are meaningless unless we recognize that we must go to work inside our prospects' minds. What do I mean?
