The world began the day I was born. The world will end the day I die. So we believe from an early age that this great universe revolves around us! You’ve probably met a few (more than a few) people who subscribe to this "me-centric" line of thinking. Perhaps there are times in all our lives when it’s important for us to feel this way. It could be a survival instinct, or a personality quirk, or simply a healthy dose of ego. Regardless, gazing fondly into the mirror is a hard perspective to bring into an interaction when you’re selling.

I’m convinced most salespeople think they’re being empathetic and consultative in their selling when they open a customer dialogue with "How can I help you today?" Nice start, but often the "dialogue" ends after the customer has briefly described, in general or specific terms, what drove them onto a web-site or into a store. The salesperson then quickly steers the conversation toward a perceived solution without truly understanding what the customer needs. A salesperson "telling" is fine if you’re shopping for a head of iceberg lettuce. If you’re shopping for a laptop computer or an easy chair for the living room, you’ll need to expand on what needs you have for the intended purchase and what circumstances will dictate the buying decision. Let’s hope the salesperson gives you that opportunity!

Here’s the lesson; as a salesperson, you set yourself apart not by what you know, but by how you listen. Read that previous sentence one more time. Good. Knowledge is a commodity. We pick it up via the books we read, the web-sites we visit and the classes we attend. Listening is a talent that is developed over time. It means removing the distractions and concentrating on what a person is saying, and how they’re saying it. "Me-centric" thinking works against you as a salesperson if you’re the "me." Allowing the consumer to be "me-centric" means you’re making them, for a brief period of time, the center of your universe.
