• 4.The Selling Begins With Your Understanding Of The Implicit Need/Desire/Wants Rather Than Their Explicit Ones of Your Prospects
• 5.To Master The Number 4 You Need to Learn & Practice

The Competition] – See The Movie "Miracle On The 34 Street" => Now A Days The Prospects Are More Knowledgeable Than You
• 9.After You Have Done This – You Have To Simply Use The Power Of Your Smile, Silence & Sincerity & Then Leave Them With Powerful Questions That Are Your USP Alone.
