There are all types of sales people. Telemarketers are usually annoying and hav to spit out canned presentation

Car salesman generally are pushy (not all)

The industry i am in - 18 months is standard time it takes to break through and sell customer. I use to cold call often - hav not in years. I like to treat people like i would want to b treated - never push. I try to listen for problems they may b having to see if they hav issues i can solve. I will try to find out there bottle necks then try to solve that problem. Ultimately they will buy from whom they like and trust and thats where i am trying to get w them. Being very technical amd using whole team to solve there problem helps. Once u become there problem solver u become an integral part of there team they need becaose its a technical industry i am in. I utilize all My resources to make this happen - but it comes down to relationships. Not all people sell the same and u sell diff in diff industries
