More invitation, more sales without pressure. Your job isn't to convince someone to buy from you.If you're trying to convince someone, you've probably already moved into the wrong dynamic. Instead, determine whether there's a genuine fit.Permission changes the entire sales interaction.Before presenting an offer, you should have permission to put that offer in front of the person. This helps prevent the interaction from feeling intrusive or manipulative. It's conversational selling that feels good for both parties.Create curiosity instead of dumping information on people.Nikki identifies curiosity as the second step in her Selling Staircase. The goal is to make someone think, “What is that? Tell me more.” When you do that, you're following a more authentic selling style. Adapt your communication to the person.Nikki explains that she doesn't give exactly the same presentation to everyone.
