1In Navy recruiting we are not selling a car, house, insurance or a stock option, we are selling something that is not tangible. We sell a life style, an opportunity, a chance to make a difference. So why do we do so well? We do well because we believe in our product and confident that our product can change, in some cases, save a life of someone who needs a change in pace. Remember, the customer needs to be convinced that the product will enhance them in some way. Be confident, not hesitant.
