Your creativity, however it manifests, will be the difference between you and your competition. Today Gina, Rachel and Keith are discussing creativity and humor in the selling process. What are you willing to do to stand out from your competition?

Sometimes you have to play different parts in the sales conversation that are going to best connect with someone, right down to the tone of your voice. If you can read someone and then play the part that works for them, it can make them comfortable enough to buy from you.

Whether it's developing a new persona to get through cold calls, sending Lobster-grams, or flossing your way through a house tour, it's really hard to stand out so you've got to do something creative. It can't just be run-of-the-mill humdrum anymore because people want to see something interesting and this episode will get your creativity flowing.
