  1. Introduction

Life is sales.

You are either bringing them in or chasing them away. Unfortunately, it is often difficult to know the difference. But there are some key factors that can make a big difference.

At the most basic level, sales is just a conversation. But to close on a sales opportunity, it has to be an effective conversation. The foundation for providing any service or product is to have a strong basis from which to build an effective conversation that can address the customer’s needs.

What are the key factors that can make or break a successful sales presentation? The first key is knowledge. A strong knowledge base provides a means of accelerating the sales process. Having the ability to provide the appropriate information in the most efficient manner eliminates or reduces the time needed to complete the sales process.
