I have a friend who has autism and he’s a fantastic salesperson because he just takes potential buyers at their word. You’re not the market for a car? Cool. Give him a call when you are and in the meantime let him know if you have any questions. And he genuinely means it.
That car is too expensive? Well what’s your budget? He’ll tell you right away whether he can make the numbers work with that model or he’ll show you the next best thing you can buy for that price range.
Is he the stereotypical slick sales guy? Not at all. But he sells lots of cars because he’s really good at what he does and, more importantly, customers really like working with him.
- shkkmo 5y agoTo take your argument even further: It is good to have more than one type of salesperson. Some customers like/respond to one approach and some don't. Having a cognitively diverse salesforce should make your sales unit stronger and more flexible. Monocultures are fragile and inflexible.
