Some challenges salespeople have are:

➧ Poor listening skills➧ Not realizing people have different styles➧ Not having defined the purpose for the sales call➧ Not having an outcome at the end defined➧ No common ground to begin the communication➧ Resistance to change the way they do things➧ A desire to be right, instead of seeking resolution➧ Interrupting the client➧ Talking way too much➧ Finishing the client’s thoughtsAnd so on.......
