I do everything in my power to avoid duplicating an introduction that the prospect has heard dozens of times before such as: “Hello, my name is Bill, how are you today?” Just about all salespeople open conversation this way. Instead, try something like this: “This weekend I was working with Prestige Homes over in Spalding Farms and I couldn’t help but notice the split level you’re building next door.
