No friend sales is not only telling a story but its a process and without making a complete process nobody can sale anything
Pranab Banerjee  |  Argues in support of  "Yes"  |  1 year ago
agree with jayakumar, simple stories will not convince customer but a successful salesperson who always tells stories those are actually extraordinary & always with some new content in old stories
malladi madhukumar  |  Argues in support of  "No"  |  1 year ago
Simple stories will not convince the customer It should be backed by facts. We should be in a position to place referals before the customer. Customer should be convinced that we can give good service.
