The traditional selling skill set--controlling the sales process, commanding product knowledge, and nailing a great pitch--is now all but obsolete. To differentiate yourself from competitors and hold the short-lived attention span of distracted buyers, you need to be a master of emotions, interpersonal skills, influence frameworks, and human relationships.
