I am the consummate "people person"...I appreciate the diversity in all of us. I'm pro-actively tenacious-- there is always a"Plan B" if "Plan A" doesn't solve the problem. I'm logical, but certainly not afraid to step out of the box with an innovative approach...actually relish the reward in coming up with a "better way". Success to me isn't about the "hit and run"--it's the repeat business, the client referral that doesn't need to be sold--they were sold before they called and of course the new clients and the fostering of those relationships.
I'm perceptive--I listen--really listen to my clients. I care about the problem and the solution, I get to the underlying issues and go to the lengths I need to in solving those as well.
Two "absolutes" in sales and client relationship success:
1. Listen well to what your client "means" and be the total solution.
2. Timing and a sense of humor cure many ills.
