General Sales Tip “Never share the cost before you have established the value.” You must engage your client in a thorough discussion regarding his or her personal needs. If you client doesn’t recognize the need, he or she has no reason to own your product. The goal is to focus the client of value, not cost. Any discussion of cost that does not also include a detailed discussion of value is wasted time for both you and your client.
