I am currently watching VH1's show "The Pickup Artist" and find it very interesting from both a dating-meeting others of the opposite sex, and also a personal growth sales perspective. A lot of what "Mystery" who is the coach/teacher teaches seems to be similar to what would be taught in a sales training course. Specifically about getting people interested in what you are talking about, and what you do, but not being overly aggressive and boring.
One of the lessons which they learned, and were tested on is how when speaking to a woman, they can just be like little children; they want to be entertained, and interested in what they were speaking about. So what they did was have each of the contestants sit down and read a children's story to them (I believe it was Goldilocks) and the kids had to pick who was the best story teller. Most of the children knew of the Goldilocks story, so they werent hearing some thing new, but the best story teller was the person who was able to capture there attention, be lively, show creativity, and bring the story to life. Not the person who was going to read the story in a dull boring voice.
It seems that the same rules would apply in a sales situation or other business transaction.
