Prior to this course, discussing sales strategies usually consisted of all the poor characteristics your mind automatically goes to when you hear the word “sales”… (granted that this is the first sales course I’ve taken). My experience of sales and the action of selling is limited. I have worked a few different jobs in sales, and the training I received was not concerned with mimicry whatsoever. This class is the first time I’ve ever been taught to exercise mimicry while attempting to sell a product.<\/p>\n
This simple concept might seem like common sense to many people, however it is often overlooked by businesses. Mimicry was never one of the first things to come to my mind when it came to sales, but it makes so much sense. The training in sales I received lined up perfectly with all of the worst cliche selling strategies. Instead of mimicking the energy of the customer, my team was trained to try to take the floor and pitch our products to them. We were never advised to listen to the customer’s wants\/needs\/interests.<\/p>\n
