Not “just” a product salesperson - you prioritize relationships and open dialogue to identify and provide solutions to a customer's needs. You are hyper-focused on the customer rather than the product being sold.
Showing up differently than a product vs. product seller - you do your research, ask the right questions, listen with the intent to meet the customer where they are & guide them to where they need to be
