Shane,

These are actually really good points. Better than you sometimes hear in your run of the mill marketing advice. I think figuring out whether you can actually do anything for the person who is trying to buy from you is so elemental but inexplicably missing from so much sales thinking these days. So much energy is spent on pushing products that I think marketers often lose sight of whether what they are selling actually has value...or worse yet just don't care. I tell perspective customers I do not want to talk them into taking a service they don't need. I'd rather listen to them and see whether I can help then talk at them just to make a sale.
