In “To Sell is Human” by Daniel Pink, he highlights the importance of clarity in sales, the third letter in the ABCs of sales.
Pitching: In sales, being transparent about the product that you are selling is crucial and it stands out. Being able to be articulate when selling is very beneficial to the buyer.
Presenting: Clarity is so important when presenting the product that you are selling. Sellers should focus on simply delivering their message, not using excessive complexity that could confuse or overwhelm the customers.
Problem-Solving: For a seller to be effective and efficient, they have to be able to identify and address the needs of potential buyers. This doesn’t only require customer awareness but communication skills as well.
In everyday life as a Christian, practicing clarity is important as it facilitates honest and transparent communication, which is important for fostering meaningful relationships and demonstrating the principles of integrity and truthfulness advocated by the Bible, seen in scripture. Being a Christ-follower, clarity is so important in a society such as today’s with the loud noise of secularism and the absence of Christ-like values in certain business sectors. Closely concentrating on Christ-like clarity is very advantageous when it comes to sales and in everyday life.

This is a very useful breakdown of how to maintain clarity in an interaction as a salesperson. The last thing a salesperson would want is for themselves and the prospect to be on different pages or have different understandings of the interaction. Great post!
