Match communication and body language

You never know what someone has gone through during the day. They may be struggling with a loss, elated due to great family news or fighting traffic for hours.

Being on the same page as someone builds a level of comfort that is hard to achieve elsewhere. This is a sales coaching tip that works over the phone or in person with just a little practice.
