Why is Likeability SO IMPORTANT?


Over the years as products and various services have improved the mind set of many people is that the product will sell itself.


There are not many training programs that currently exist that focus on much more than increasing product knowledge and demonstration skills.


The BIG reason why YOU make the difference is this exact reason.


As products have improved and sales people have a better understanding of the product itself...the personal touch has been left behind.


People have learned to sell stats and facts rather than focus on the buying needs of your prospect.


Here are some Quick facts:



  • There are TONS of choices for people today.

  • Sales People generally sell Stats and Facts.

  • Prospects Assume comparable products are the same..except price.

This data tells me that with so many similar choices in the market place and most sales people giving the same stats and facts presentation...providing a different experience to a prospect WILL create a NEW and Unique experience.


Many important choices in life come down to Likeability.



  1. If someone likes you, they will talk to.

  2. If someone talks to you, they will become more comfortable with you.

  3. When they become more comfortable, they will open up and become truthful.

  4. When they become truthful and open, you can listen to their real needs.

  5. When you hear their real needs, you can tailor your presentation and product demo around helping them.

  6. When people feel helped, they perceive Value.

  7. When value is greater than price.....A Sale is made.

  8. When you provide Outstanding value and complete a sale, you gain a NEW Fan.

  9. New Fans create referrals.

This is the cycle of Success and Likeability is the Key Component!
