Experienced Comedian and Sales Development Director - I help people have fun and blow away their pipeline goals
Ever wondered how sales thrived before emails and Zoom calls? It was all about face-to-face interactions in bustling town squares. Back in the day, salesmanship meant gathering in town squares, pitching products directly to people. This in-person dynamic created a unique energy and connection that laid the foundation for markets. Sellers thrived on personal interactions, reading body language, and building trust through direct contact. Fast forward to today, where most sales are done digitally, with the help of emails, video calls, and multimedia presentations. While the tools have evolved, the essence of sales remains unchanged: it’s still about one person connecting with another. Even now, the core principles of sales—understanding needs, building relationships, and creating value—are as relevant as ever. The digital landscape may have transformed how we connect, but it hasn’t changed why we connect. How are you keeping the essence of personal connection alive in your sales approach?
I believe the original essence of sales remains unaltered, and will continue to remain constant. With new tools comes new approaches but it all comes back to the same old thing of resonating with the customer and trying to connect.
It's all about making that connection for sure
And the patience it must take too...💪💪
Regardless of the tools used, sales has a basic process which still remains relevant over time
Do you miss the town square interactions?
The shift from face-to-face to digital sales shows how adaptable salespeople are. It's about using new tools while keeping the age-old focus on relationships and understanding.
I think humor is a great way isn’t it?
The medium may have changed, but human psychology will not change in a long-long time.
