Appointments and failure are the best teachers, no shortcuts. Learn to tell a story. Ask relevant questions. I like "why". Repeat and refrase what the client says. Take notes. Remember they always know less than you do.

Thank you. I share the same sentiment. I still would appreciate any related books that would give me an additional avenue to develop more thought provoking questions and processes

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

HERE IS HOW TO READ ANY SALES BOOK FOR FREE:

STEP 1 Type “zlibrary” into a search engine

STEP 2 Click on zlibrary link

STEP 3 Choose “Books”

STEP 4 Type in the author or book you are wanting to read

STEP 5 Choose the first option that comes up after searching

STEP 6 Click “download” and you have the ebook
