Lesson in value and sales
I’ve always found sales to be difficult. There have been multiple reasons for this. Bad experiences with unethical salesmen, a childhood mentors aversion to salesmen, a misunderstanding of what it means to sell, etc. etc.. But I’m realizing something the more I learn and focus on building this skill. When you have something of true value to offer, sales becomes natural. When I know the person buying will benefit, and the benefit they receive outweighs the money they exchange, what kind of person would I be if I did not put effort into helping them see that. In other words, it is actually in the customers best interest for me to be a good salesman, with strategy tactics and all, when I have the right offer.
