First impressions are critical in the sales process. You are presenting yourself to others as a representative of your company. How you present yourself throughout the sales process will influence the buyer(s). Opening and closing sales, providing information for the buyer, and how you deal with changes will be the foundation for the seller/buyer relationships. Practicing various scenarios will help you learn more about how you present yourself to others.
