		<description>Spot on! (again)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is the way I look at it; I don&#039;t try to &quot;sell&quot; I  Attract - and not in the way a billboard on the highway attracts someone to a furniture store.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Attraction by engagement.  And to be engaged, one needs to ask the right questions. Engage with  &quot;High Intent&quot; - meaning you really do care about the clients&#039; experience with you and your company - even if you do not get the initial &quot;sale&quot;.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And this is the &quot;rub&quot; - all sales people want the sale; most sales people are desperate and insecure to the core.  They do not understand that insecurities and desperation are not &quot;attractive&quot; - think about it.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ummm...me thinks another post is in my future about  this subject.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks Ken!</description>
