			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OK &#8211; I must admit &#8211; I&#39;m a shoe addict as well as a <strong>Sales Diva</strong>!</p>
<p>Here&#39;s a &quot;snapshot&quot; of my closet &#8211; everything from <strong>purple stilettos</strong>, leopard-look high heels, about 5 pairs of the &quot;perfect shade of red&quot; strappy sandals, some black, patent, sky-high &quot;I&#39;m so shiny you could apply your lipstick in them&quot; pumps&#8230;.well &#8211; you get the picture.</p>
<p>For every occasion &#8211; from walking my dog to presenting a seminar &#8211; I&#39;ve got the perfect shoe.</p>
<p><strong>Here&#39;s what drives me nuts.</strong></p>
<p>Just as you&nbsp;wouldn&#39;t wear a pair of flip-flops with a business suit (if you are &#8211; please send me a picture!), you&nbsp;ALSO don&#39;t whip out the <strong>wrong information for a customer</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Are You Polishing The Wrong Sales Shoe?</strong></p>
<p align="left">I see it all the time.</p>
<p align="left">Entrepreneurs and sales people who get a look of <strong>maniacal GLEE</strong> when they are asked to <strong>share information</strong> about their business.</p>
<p>And they then proceed to do the biggest <strong>INFO DUMP</strong> all over you.</p>
<p><strong>Blah, Blah, Blah.</strong></p>
<p>Honestly, its enough to make you shiver.</p>
<p><strong>Here&#39;s some Sales Diva words of advice.</strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong>Don&#39;t do that!</strong></p>
<p>When you&#39;re meeting with a customer, new or existing &#8211; either on the phone/e-mail or in person&#8230;.be more concerned about <strong>asking them questions</strong> vs. sharing every single product/service you have to offer.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>Well &#8211; as Rhett once told Scarlett &#8211; <strong>&quot;Frankly my dear, I don&#39;t give a damn.&quot;</strong></p>
<p>And neither does your customer.</p>
<p>They&nbsp;<strong>ONLY</strong> want to hear what&#39;s relevant to <strong>THEM</strong> and their situation.</p>
<p>So cool your jets lady.</p>
<p><strong>Listen</strong> more, <strong>talk less</strong> and you&#39;ll discover which is the <strong>RIGHT KIND OF SALES SHOE</strong> you need to be offering your customer.</p>
<p>Which of course&#8230; leads to more money for buying more&nbsp;<strong>FABULOUS SHOES!</strong></p>
