The execution of the face-to-face sales call is the fundamental skill of the salesperson. By being able to execute the call in a professional manner, you are able to pull together all your product, customer, and market knowledge and build a strong level of customer commitment to your solution. There is no magic in call execution. Rather, making effective sales calls is a process of skill usage and techniques that are manifestly learnable and replicable. And these skills and techniques make up the MOST system of selling.
