Be more close minded: People buy emotionally.

People buy emotionally.Prospects lie. They don’t trust you.Don’t fall for their tricks.

E.g., It’s work for a lot of people, but I’m not sure if it will for you… mind if I ask you a few questions first?

How long you’ve been suffering? 10 Years? So it must not be that big of a problem ...
