Hi Ray,

I couldn't agree more with your article. It's so true -traditional sales techniques have their uses but buying has definitely changed. I give copy-writing courses and communication advice and sometimes it is at odds with what people have learned at sales courses.

But being real, offering value, influencing your customers as they move through the buying process is where the market is at today.

Keep these good articles coming here on bizsugar.com.

Take care,

Denise
