What does it take to become a great salesperson? What is the most efficient and effective process for conducting sales calls?
For Don Myers, there's more to being a salesperson than just making an appearance and listing the products you sell. You have to do the uncomfortable things to be successful. You must develop an attitude for asking clients tough questions. Building relationships is vital, and asking questions provides an excellent opportunity to learn more about your clients’ businesses and build rapport with them.

Equipment, to talk about the importance of asking tough questions in the forklift and material handling industry.
