Perfecting Your Sales Language With Codie Sanchez

Written by YEC | Nov 20, 2017 2:00:04 PM

In this video clip, Codie Sanchez, speaker, entrepreneur, investor and CEO of www.CodieSanchez.com, explains the importance of word choice in sales. You don't just want to ask if a consumer would buy your product, but how they would buy it and why. If you understand this, you know how to target them. During the sales pitch, shut up and listen to what they have to say, as well as what their body language is saying. Focus on telling a story instead of selling to them.

"So there are all these really interesting ways to say essentially the same thing, but tweak them and use them in a very specific manner."
