Listen More, Talk less
In the nine years of working as a consultant, I have observed that you can collect more deal cracking information by listing to client's suggestions, arguments, deals tweaks attentively.
The collected information can help you create a dynamic deal instantly, which favors the client's needs and keeps a good profit margin.
Once a client decides something, it's challenging for you to move them or change their perspective without a good reason or alternative offer.
And by listening to the client attentively, you can craft the offer quickly.
