Do you like jokes and funny stories? Most people do. But be careful with humor. Peoples' senses of humor are different. What you might see as a witty retort, may be seen as an insult to others. For example, consider this dialogue between a customer with a foreign accent and a salesperson:
Sales: So, Mr. Martin, are you ready to place your order?
Customer: Well, I'm still sitting on de-fence.
Sales: So that must put me on offense.
Humor is often regional. British humor is quite different than American humor. Words and phrases may have different meanings. If you're "full of beans" in England, you're full of energy in America. Humor in sales is risky business. Don't risk losing sales because of the misuse of humor.. Call GRa today. 910.617.1817
