Body Language at a Sales Call

This SimplyHired article on SimplyBlog posted on Jan. 14, 2011, discusses it at job interviews, but many of the points are relevant to sales calls. I have attached the link to the article if you want to read it in its entirety.

Some important things to remember on your sales calls are
1. Smile! People feel more at ease and relaxed when they see a friendly face.
2. Good posture and a firm handshake. If you don't feel confident and look confident, you are putting yourself at a disadvantage.
3. Change your pitch and tone. You want them to be interested and engaged, not bored to tears!
4. Maintain eye contact, but don't stare them down.

I have only listed a couple of points. This could can be dealt with in enough depth to be a 3 credit college course, but I want to give you something to think about.

If you have any thoughts, please drop me a line. Thanks for reading.
