Let people see all those things that make you unique and special. Selling is a process that leads from one position to another and it’s really important not to skip any of the steps. Create curiosity so that people want to learn more about you. This is a way to gauge the true interest level of the person you’re talking to. Invite people to do business with you as you progress up the selling staircase.
