Have you ever felt annoyed, burdened, trapped, obligated or just flat out angry while someone was trying to sell you something? The answer is most likely a resounding yes.

It’s awkward, ineffective, and should be avoided at all costs.<\/p>\n

The truth is, there’s nothing wrong with asking whether or not a potential customer is interested or not, in fact, it’s better for the both of you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
