There is one thing about sales I learned from kazaa that I retain - the crazy call.

For those who don't know the "crazy call" it is this:

Let's say you are on the phone with a potential whale, you've spoken a few times.. but the realtionship is pretty undeveloped.. very professional.. not a lot of real chemistry. So, how to overcome this an build a bond? You pretend that something CRAZY happens when you are on the phone. Being in an office building, a seagull hitting the window is good.. or the window washer guy almost falling.. or maybe you see a car accident in the streets below. The point being, you react to this crazniess like "Holy shit a giant bird just smashed into my window??!??!!". The shared experience builds rapport.
