Establish the most common use cases as well as a few fringe use cases to better understand your product and the general needs of the user or customer as early as possible. Then, coordinate with stakeholders and/or the customer themself before, during, and after the sale to better understand the customer's relationship with with the product and their specific needs. Ask specific questions throughout the process, and try to make a genuine connection with the customer - they're more likely to tell you more of their problems with the product that you can then solve or soothe if they feel they can trust you with them, not just because it's your job. This will also highly increase the odds of another sale from them, or through word of mouth.

Proactively address potential objections by understanding common concerns and preparing responses. Utilize the LAER model (Listen, Acknowledge, Explore, Respond) to handle objections smoothly.
