Stories, not product features and functionality, are the key to success in sales, writes George Deeb in Sales 101: Sell Stories, Not Products. Getting bogged down in the minutia of what a product does is a common rookie mistake:
… clients don’t really care about you or your products, they care about themselves, and how you are going to help them to solve their problems.
Obviously, lawyers don’t sell products, but they do sell services. And Deeb’s advice is as valid for them as for any sales team.
