What does good selling look like for a small business?

Good selling is mostly listening. You find people with a real problem, ask questions, explain clearly how you help, agree a fair price and follow up. It is a skill anyone can practise, and owners usually make the first sales themselves before hiring anyone to sell.

How do I practise sales with RepeatWatch?

A–B loop one script, a cold-call opening or a negotiation example, and say it along with the speaker until you can do it without the video. Slow it to 0.75× to catch the exact words, and save the best examples on keys 1–9 for a quick refresher before calls.
