\"\"<\/a>Throughout this class, we\u2019ve discussed approaching sales with just a human perspective. A lot of times when we think of salespeople, we can view them as being distant, and even robotic. Like they\u2019re reading off a script to us. In fact, I just interacted with a woman on the phone, who was trying to sell me life insurance. While I did refuse, it left me thinking about how that could have gone down differently, if we had some sort of human connection. My friend says that telemarketers stress her out, and I can see how. As much as we may like technology, as humans we just want to connect with each other on the level that no other species can. We crave human connection.
