It's the most important skill you can have as a salesperson. So we try to hammer that home with these folks. And then the other pieces we work on are building rapport and doing discovery, like qualification.""And when I say discovery, I'm really talking about qualification. We have a course called happy ears and we really want people to get to no faster than they get to yes."You can find out more about JR in the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jrbutler/Website: https://www.shiftgroup.io/Connect with KD in the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kddorsey3/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/insidesalesexcellenceLive Better.
