KS & AG
We sell ourselves every day. To clients, to potential dates or relationships, to significant others.

KS what you state is a bunch of guys who could not sell ice to an Arab in Suadi or heaters in Canada.

1. You make the person you are selling yourself or a product feel like a rock star. AG your Frenchman knows this.
2. You (the salesman) may know it's about you but how you present yourself as it's about the customer. (see #1)
3. Everyone has a story to tell. The salesman needs to shut up and let the customer tell theirs. All he/she does is ask simple questions and sincerely be interested. KS it seems the folks you run into really fail here.
4. If one tells a story to the customer knowing how to be a storyteller is very important. Dr Seuss was a storyteller that could put anyone at ease.

Good comment KS. I could see why you are annoyed however if a man came up to you and flirted in a fun manner without looking to take you to bed how would you react? If you were the subject of the storyline and the main character would you feel more comfortable with the storyteller?

Good story AG. Sounds like your Frenchman does not have lines he has a personna and he lets you be in control. Us Guys including myself could take lessons. I think you hit on what many women find attractive.
