Sales presentation skills - involve the Prospect

I often tremble to sales professionals about the benefits of their product. They'll run down a list of what is great hope that their value in building perspective "s mind when we do that -. And I'm also - we sound like a boy whistling in the dark trying to make you feel better.

We say things like "Another great feature of the widget is the built-in blender. Alternatively, our widget has recently been voted the best widget in its class."
