Set that bad mental picture aside for a second because that's exactly what you DON'T want to do. When you turn it around you know 3 keys to increasing your sales.When someone talks too fast what do you think? You may think it means they're passionate about what they're talking about. That's a good thing.You may also think the other person is talking so fast because they lack confidence, or they aren't being entirely truthful. You may think they want to push you in a direction you don't want to go. Now you know are those thoughts are bad things. When you think any of those negative thoughts you immediately resist whatever the other person is saying.Even when what they're saying is to your benefit you still resist what you're hearing because of the way it's presented.
