Fireplace Mantle Clearances

The Big 3 Sales Objections
Do you know what the big 3 sales objections are? Better yet, do you know how to handle them?
Remodeling Magazine has two good articles on sales this month.
One on managing objections and differentiating between statements and questions. A lot of objections are statements.
The other article is about letting the clients sell YOU on why you should work on their home. Think about this: If they are selling you, who is doing the talking, and who is doing the listening? Hmmmmm……
I highly recommend reading both of these.
