Implement the 'honest agreement' early in sales conversations to establish transparency and set expectations for open dialogue.

Be proactive by 'vanguarding' potential objections and concerns, addressing them before they become obstacles.

✦

Leverage the psychology of physical space by conducting sales discussions at a kitchen table rather than a living room, fostering intimacy and engagement.
