Learn to sell anything or something
Tuesday, April 21, 2009 6:07Sales is a profession that has the most direct approach to revenue creation in any company. All the other parts are more or less supportive and can be treated as such - this is difficult for technology geeks to believe, and I am willing to give them some leeway with companies that aim to develop a technology. In the end the play comes down to somehow selling the technology or to use it to sell something else… just something for you to think about.
Sales, however, is usually treated as the most important asset in a company, because good sales organization can be trained to adopt new products and new markets. You really need to be in this field if you want to go place. Salesmen are always going places, if nothing else, then they go home or for a coffee. Are you a wuss but you would still like to know how to sell? It is not about knowing it is about learning and doing. Here is a good program for you, but only if you have the motivation. They use so many ways to teach you to be a great salesman that they should be banned as users of illegal techniques.
When somebody promises you that she can help you with your personal qualities or to get new social friends, I’d be slightly caucious - enthusiastic - but sligthly caucious.
