1. You Understand Their World and Speak Their Language
This is the most obvious yet most overlooked aspect of getting people to buy. You must listen deeply and adapt to their communication style.
- Visual buyers: Use words like “see,” “view,” “look,” “show me.”
- Auditory buyers: Use words like “hear,” “sounds right,” “talk to me.”
- Kinaesthetic buyers: Use words like “feel,” “grasp,” “get a sense of it.”
- Logical buyers: Use words like “analyze,” “criteria,” “compute,” “understand.”
Action Step: Listen carefully for which language channel your buyer operates in and mirror their style.
2. You Show Confidence, Courage, and Commitment
If you hesitate, your buyer feels it. Confidence isn’t just about how you speak—it’s about how certain you are in your product, service, and pricing.
- Confidence: Believe in your offer’s value.
- Courage: Ask bold, direct questions.
- Commitment: Show up fully invested in helping your buyer succeed.
3. You Have Excellent Rapport and Build Real Relationships
People buy from people they like and trust. Rapport is built—or broken—the second someone meets you.
Action Step: At your next sales meeting, focus 100% on listening and mirroring their energy.

4. Your Focus is 100% on Your Buyer and Their Result
Sales professionals who focus on the client first always outperform those who focus on closing the deal.
Action Step: Next time you’re in a sales conversation, count how many times you say “I” versus “you.” Shift the focus.
5. You Are Responsive and Attentive
Great salespeople don’t just talk well—they listen better than anyone else.
- Put away scripts and be fully present.
- Take immediate action—send follow-ups and answer questions quickly.
- Preempt objections by addressing concerns before they arise.
Action Step: Record one of your sales calls and listen back. Did you talk too much? Did you really respond to what the buyer said?
