Mark Jewell rejoins the show to talk less about talking and more about what he calls “active listening”.
Most salespeople do about 75% of the talking, but Jewell believes they should be listening 75% of the time. Jewell says many non-verbal signals will show your customers that you are not actively listening, but simply getting ready to talk about another sales feature. And in many cases, that won’t help with a sale and will probably hurt you opportunities.
