2 – Get personal; collect as much information about your customer as possible and use it.

3 – Become a friend, because people will buy from their friends but don’t always trust salespeople.

4 – Concentrate on building strong relationships.

5 – Find things you and your customer have in common, and build on those similarities.

6 – Gain the trust of your customers.

7 – Have a great time, and have a great sense of humor.

8 – Don’t even look like you’re trying to sell.
