All sales professionals think that they\u2019re focused on the customer. However, in many cases, they’ve actually focused on something else altogether, like communicating product knowledge or convincing the customer to buy. Being customer focused means putting aside all of that and actually being 100 percent present for the customer.<\/p>\n
