How is it going to happen? What are you doing to invite it? Because that’s probably the most important thing in your sales practice, is your own mind.”

CHRIS’ TIP:  ““Preparation is important, but presence is priceless. You can rehearse your message, polish your pitch, and script every word—but if you’re not fully present in the moment, truly listening, and tuned in to the needs and emotions of your audience, you’ll miss the connection that really drives trust and action. Presence is what transforms information into influence.”
