Smiling helps you sell ๐ŸŽฏ

I'm in tech sales and do most of my calls over the phone or zoom but this Tips for Retail Sales is still a resource that I refer to and share with younger reps. Who knew having good "Facial Expressionโ€”Particularly the Curve of Their Mouth" would help so much??


Remember when we spoke face-to-face? And smiling makes you seem more approachable and agreeable? It's the same in virtual selling, retail selling, or trying to convince a family member to take out the trash. Just make sure it's (looks) authentic!

This is great. Lots of people in tech sales look down on retail as some "lower" form of sales. Trust me when I say that getting rejected and yelled at face-to-face is more painful!ย 

And the tricks of the trade are more translatable than most realize.

I even smile when I make a phone call. Your tone comes off as kind and approachable.
