2. Someone sold you an
idea and you acted on it.
Sometimes they’re based
on ideas and beliefs that
we “sell” ourselves.
Whether it’s to avoid pain
or pursue pleasure, every
choice we have made
was based on a sale.
3. Our culture sells us the idea that we
need… Cash, Car, Condos, Credit Cards and
Careers to be successful.
4. Our parents sell us that
we need to find
good, reputable, stable
jobs, save money, and
take care of them when
they retire.
5. You had to “sell yourself”
to your boss to get that
job.
6. You had to sell yourself
to your girlfriend or
boyfriend that you
would be a great
partner.
7. Physical attraction only
takes you so far – to
“close the deal” you need
to first make “cold calls,”
pursue your “prospect,”
provide incentives and
bonuses, and then
present an “irresistible
offer.”
8. You may laugh, but the truth remains:
Everything is sales!
9. A lot of people say they
hate selling, or they
dislike people who sell to
them, or it’s not their
department.
10. I can assure you, those
same people are neither
rich nor successful. In
fact, they just sold
themselves on the idea
that they can’t sell.
11. The sooner you realize that sales is part of who
we are and an essential skill not just for
business but our lives as well, the sooner you
will find yourself on the path to being truly happy
and successful.
