Author Bill Stinnett describes the best way to maximize sales: think like your customer. Really, the tip is in the title. Stinnett does elaborate extensively on how to think like the customer, including making the customer your primary focus whenever engaged in conversation with them, creating plans for your customer, and following up regularly. These are good tips for any relationship, not just when you are trying to sell something.

Thinking like a salesperson in the world of moving information is a disadvantage. Using the power to think like customer instead helps the sales to happen and helps the customer to buy instead of discouraging them.

The very curious book on how to sell based on customers' behaviour.

There may be a few points, upon which Bill and I disagree. For the most part, this Book is great advice and would be valuable to both new and experienced sales staff.
