For example:
- ProspectingCold Calling - (feels like I am intruding) - Asking for the Business - (feels like I am being pushy) - Cross-SellingUp-Selling - (feels like I am taking advantage) - Assumptive Closing - (feels like I am being presumptuous)
Step Two - Identify Beliefs that are the root source of negative feelings toward sales management practices.

- Don't talk to strangers - It is impolite to talk about money - Never interrupt important people - Wait to be asked
