Brad Pitt lost out to Obama in a poll of the best dressed. Obama is also often admired, even by his political opponents, for being well spoken and having great mastery of the English language and ability to turn a phrase into a memorable sound bite. What is the point? Obama is a master salesperson and his skills should be an example to all salespeople of how to attract the admiration of even one's opponents.
How well do you dress? How well spoken are you? Do you feel your customers need to take you as you are and appreciate you or are you insightful enough to know that how you "come across" will determine perception and provide influence?
The skills of great politicians should be studied to see which we can also practice for increased effectiveness.
Have a great week of selling!
