Paying attention to your communication
Anticipate a cognitive (more information), affective (feeling) or conative (action) response. Adapt your communication to your prospect.
Analyse the prospect's issues
Start with an observation, refine the prospect's positioning and then consider possible developments for his business: FACTS-OPINION-CHANGE.

Asserting your own commercial offer
In particular, thanks to the CABP matrix: Characteristic, Advantage, Benefit for the prospect, Evidence.
Take into account the factors influencing the prospect
They may be those around them, their own perceptions, their socio-cultural environment, etc. Prepare yourself to respond to their objections.
