Selling Not Just About Dollars

“The better portion of all sales I have made were after people said ‘no’.” (Napoleon Hill). That’s probably true of all sales made by anyone regardless of age, gender or way of life. Have you considered the fact everyone is selling something to someone all the time? It’s true.

Who did you think of when you read that line? Like most people I thought of sales people; those who sell products or services for a living. I’m guessing you did too. But really the concept applies to anyone.

We are constantly in the business or at least the process, of selling something. It could be we want to sell the idea we must have that new car, or new appliance to our spouse. We may sell the idea it’s in our son’s or daughter’s very best interest that they get their homework done correctly and on time. How well we sell those ideas depends on how persuasive and convincing we are in describing the benefits of doing what we are trying to get them to accept.

But what are we REALLY selling?

Great Minds Think Alike With Great Thoughts

Great Minds Think Alike Great minds think alike is a saying we’ve all heard and probably used. No self aggrandizement is implied when I say this. It’s just acknowledgment that sometimes we are brought up short by a comment we hear or read that pefectley echoes something we just thought or said. Like this morning. […]
