I would just add that even with a change in mindset in the interview process, there still needs to be passion and preparation. Any process that matches up a solution to a need (sales process) is more a matter of qualification than persuasion. Your technique here, allows for a more direct path to qualifying a potential match and avoids the desperation that normally leads to rejection....thanks again for this beautifully written post.DTynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13366438268829610798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-140287234553731149.post-68076956892166774492012-02-06T13:51:26.962-05:002012-02-06T13:51:26.962-05:00Great post!
