Both.ย There is a science to the process and an art to how it is implemented.

I believe itโs an art.. At least to me. To me, itโs a great stage production; I get to act and be whom I think the prospects want me to be. In turn, they do what I want and I get paid handsomely for it.ย
Much like a sport it is both, you couldnโt teach someone how to be as smooth as Ken Griffey Jr. and if you stick so firm to the science itโs like talking to a robot. I believe sales is a matter of knowing when to use the science and when tot utilize the art.ย

Definitely both. Art because it's a performance and science because there is always a process

Both. You can't find success by being all flair or all process/product. Well, you can... But not for the long term.ย

Art, you are born with it but have to work on it.

I think it depends on the person and their approach. I do think it is a blend of both art and science. For my personal blend, my "science" is about 25 % and "art" is at 75%. When I am asked why I am successful, it's almost like asking why Bob Ross can paint those beautiful paintings in under 30 minutes. He just can.ย
