You can’t make them move forward in your sales process and you certainly can’t make them buy from you.

This past winter, my daughter learned how to snowboard. So what? Big deal. Kids do that all the time. What made this kid different, though, was how she learned: by watching YouTube videos, talking with friends who snowboard, observing others on the slopes, and then doing it (over and over again). It turns out high-performing sales reps prefer to learn the same way.
