Selling

Have you ever heard or said it yourself, “I’m not a salesperson!” or perhaps, "I don’t like sales people"! “I can’t promote.” ?

Consider that ALL professions – doctors, politicians, colleges, churches, etc., must promote to make it known how they make someone’s life better. Any organization that doesn’t promote perishes.

Have you ever had the belief in something so strongly that you promoted it to someone? Take a movie for example. Have you ever "sold" someone on a movie where they then bought a ticket to go see the movie, simply based on your experience?

How about a food item--"you just have to try that new 'food product'!" And then based on your recommendation, your friend goes out and purchases it!

Many people have an incomplete definition of selling. Most people view selling as “moving a product or service to a consumer.” The reason this is incomplete is because it omits that communicating a concept, idea or desire is also selling.1

A person is selling when they are courting a boyfriend or girlfriend. A person is selling when they submit a resume for a job. A person is selling when they’re asking their child to do their homework. Almost all communications are “selling.” 1

Here's the bottom line: We're all sales people. Everyday we're selling something to someone - an idea, a point of view, a product, a service, an opportunity, etc. If I, as a business owner, do not sell what my company is offering, I’ll be out of business. A successful business is a moneymaking entity and if I am not making money, I probably won't be in business too long.2

A profession/business isn’t “professional” or “unprofessional” – people are either professional or unprofessional. Communication between people is the key.

I focus on the benefits of what my products and opportunity can do for my customer - how my customer can have healthy options for safer homes and family wellness. If this sounds interesting to you, then let's talk.
