Let me ask you Ken or any others that want to chime in. I do get the part about being in the business for so long that people tend to have some sense of ability to transfer their trust to you. Remember what I told you in the past about why my Uncle charged so much to paint a ladys ceiling? He said because he could.

Now I know that everyone gets a no or a slam in the face with the door type of response no matter what equipment they have or rep, but the key would being able to not have that happen which makes me ask. When do you know you have said enough during an introduction? The goal is to get the foot in the door not the door slammed on the foot.

I'm not going to get into all of that here on this open forum. There are many good training programs and such out there. As well some guys may be willing to share how they get in front of key people.
