Paul Naidoo is esteemed as one of the best sales trainers in South Africa, for take home value that is practical, effective and easy to apply. Drawing on his personal experiences, Paul had this advice to share, "A deadly sin for sales professionals in the security industry is that often they do not take time out to understand issues faced by their customers. More significantly, sales professionals are inclined to offer clients a security system as opposed to a security solution." Paul further elaborated on a common mistake made by sales people across industries and that is selling products from the bottom range to the top whereas sales should start with the best products available. "This approach limits your customers' freedom to choose something better and more importantly this practice improves ones overall sales."
