Face-to-face Communication in a Digital Era with Frank Somma
November 29, 2023
“The biggest thing for me as a salesperson is to remember that you are responsible for the result of your communication. You are responsible for all your communication because you want to be. You need to get a point across. It doesn’t serve you to say she misunderstood me. He didn’t get me. That’s not what I meant. They misinterpreted. None of that serves you. What serves you is getting your point across.”
