I love to nurture and take care of people. Since I love to cook and bake one way I get to satisfy this need is to cook and feed them.
I hosted a dinner party for twenty recently.
I checked in with my guests to see if there were any dietary needs. There were two vegetarians, one person who didn't eat beef and two who avoided gluten.
The menu covered all the bases. Everything was gluten free. I decided on a chicken, a beef and a vegetarian dish. The side dishes and appetizers would be gluten free and vegetarian.
There would be plenty of food. Everyone could have a full serving of everything I prepared.
For dessert I decided to make a gluten free chocolate cake and bake a pie. Since I had some truffles and cookies left over from another party I had hosted, I would serve them too.
My guests arrived. Everything was delicious and they ate a full dinner.
Then came dessert.
(Bare with me... this has everything to do with your sales in your business)
The desserts were beautiful and very tempting. My guests, who were already full, took little pieces of the various options because they didn't want to be rude. They nibbled.
When it was time to go they were all very full, even uncomfortable.
As I put away the leftovers it occurred to me, this is what so many people do in sales conversations.
First, we check in with our prospective client to see what their special needs are. This is what I did when I asked about dietary needs.
