A Consultative Approach
If a sales person pitches a prospect too early in the sales process and has not taken the time to fully appreciate that prospect’s requirements, they are likely to encounter much more resistance in comparison to a sales person who has first sought to identify and agree the prospect’s requirements prior to presenting their proposals.

China went on to become Standard Oil's largest market in Asia.
