A discussion about sales, sales tips and advice, and about those who land the deal

This guy was, trying to be unusually nice and creating an awkward situation in the process.

But those types of situations aren't exclusive to restaurant help.  You, the sales professional, can also be viewed as "creepy".

• Crossing professional and personal lines when you see clients or prospects away from work.
• Being "too personal" in the way you try to connect with your prospects and customers.
• Asking personal questions when making small talk which could be viewed as being "none of your business".

Those are the little things that can turn an otherwise promising business relationship upside down.
