Bad mouthing your competition

New sales people are prone to make mistakes and mistake they make indeed. Yet so many of these mistakes do not have to be made at all. For instance your grandfather told you that you have two ears and one mouth, why not use them in that ratio? Salesmen talk to much and often end up flustering the potential buyer or talk themselves out of a sale.

Needless to say that is a very bad mistake, but that is not the only mistake new sales people make.

Bad mouthing your competition rather than defining your strengths of service or the quality of your product usually means you do not have anything worthy to talk about. And if not, why on Earth would I want to buy anything from you? Consider this in 2006.
