How can you use humor and creativity to stand out in sales prospecting?
Since most are commenting on sales process in general, I'll focus on prospecting as this is more of a make-or-break interaction, especially when making a cold call to someone who probably doesn't want to hear from you anyway. If you can get them to crack a smile, or laugh somehow, even if it's by stumbling on your own words and laughing at yourself, you've immediately removed yourself from the "salesperson" bucket, and are now actually having a conversation with the person on the other line where you are dictating the pace and timing versus trying to spit out a pitch as quickly as possible before getting hung up on.
