Jose Blanco, Make it make sense ! answered:

I believe the best way I learned sales was when I worked in the vacuum business. It was quite challenging, as most vacuum businesses relied on door-to-door sales. I decided to join the Rainbow vacuum systems, which allowed me to gain valuable experience. Joining Rainbow Industries was the best decision I made because their appointments were all scheduled and organized. Everything ran through a marketing system, with an office and a team of representatives who managed phone calls and scheduled appointments for the sales representatives.. This strategy helped to build trust and credibility with the customer by showing them that others in their network also saw value in the product or service. It also helped to create a sense of community and social proof, which can be powerful motivators for making a purchase. By leveraging the connections and recommendations of others, I was able to increase the likelihood of a successful sale and build a strong customer base for the future.
