Your ability to uncover needs in your customer’s business is one of the areas that will make you stand out from the competition. It can differentiate you, your services and your products because it offers a perspective that few buyers may be able to see themselves.

However, it is very easy for a sales manager to THINK that he or she is sufficiently motivating the team simply because no one offers any objection or criticism.
