How To Sell

Written By paperkool aka Glen Jon

Every exchange requires a transfer of thought. Every transfer of thought is a sell. Babies out of the womb, sell ideas with emotion. If a baby is hungry, what does it do? The baby cries wah wah. The crying alerts mother to the baby’s needs. The baby sold that concept to mother. Understand if the baby cries and the mother does nothing, that’s not a sale.

My writing is essentially in reply to what I saw in a forum. A lady wrote. “I want to work at home, but I don’t want to do sales.” I tried to explain to the lady, in my reply that every exchange you may do is, in effect sales, to one degree or another. You may not think of it in such a manner however, it’s selling. When you apply for a job that you may consider a non sales job, in reality you’re selling your resume or application. No matter what job you may have, it requires you to perform at a level of proficiency that convinces your boss to give you a check on pay day. You must “perform.” Your performance is selling the idea you are qualified. You are selling constantly on a daily basis, weather you know it or not.

Great illustrations to show that in reality we are all born salesmen!

Yes, we just have to explore our salesmanship in order to gain more sales and profits.

Thinking well

Don't sell products. Sell an "experience." One entrepreneur even added the word "experience" to his company's vision.

Tell stories and let your stories sell.

Too many people want to get something without first consider what they have to give out in advance. Being your own boss is not an easy game without putting real effort over a long and consistent period of time.
