It’s interesting to hear everyone’s thoughts on unusual sales tactics. I once had a great experience using a personal story to connect with a prospect — people really seem to respond when you show vulnerability. I think @OP’s point about engagement is spot on; staying authentic makes a huge difference.

I’ve found that using a question to engage prospects works wonders. When I ask for their opinion on something related to their needs, it often leads to a more genuine conversation. Have you ever tried that, @dwayne_smith91?

I totally agree that asking questions can lead to a >genuine conversation<. What’s helped me is sharing a relevant anecdote about a previous client experience — it makes the call feel more personal and relatable. @dwayne_smith91, do you ever weave in your success stories?
