So all the time and energy you spend on presenting your product will be wasted and won\u2019t lead to the result you want.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd39 Therefore, before jumping into your main tasks\u2014like presenting your product or negotiating price\u2014make an effort to understand the customer\u2019s emotional and psychological state. Show respect for their situation, and <em>then<\/em> move on to your responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd39 Just remember: empathy does <strong>not<\/strong> mean prying, interfering, or giving unsolicited advice.
