When you are recruiting or selling, feel free to nod frequently, but resist any temptation to shake your head. Your body tells a story of what you are thinking, and you want to give off a positive message.

TIP! If you are promoting a certain product, learn all you can about it. If you are indifferent about the product you are selling, you won’t be able to trigger the emotional response that leads to a purchase.
