One in nine jobs is a sales job. Wrongo bongo. EVERY JOB IS A SALES JOB. Communication, negotiation, and the ability to create connections is the key to success in almost every industry! Understanding the importance of human interaction and relationships is vital to getting where you want to be in life. How have you seen sales concepts applied in your life in a non-sales scenario?

Being in sales is like being in an abusive relationship.

In 2007, I led the New England region for total sales at Libery Mutual. On paper it didn’t make sense. This was my first job out of school. I didn’t graduate at the top of my class. I didn’t have an established network in the region. The only sales experience I had was at a used futon store. But I had something most didn’t. I had time. I had nothing to lose. In 2007, I learned an important lesson: Availability is the strongest predictor of total sales. I used inexperience as an asset. I was available, always. Your weakness to others is typically a strength disguised. Be available 👊🏻

National be nice to a salesperson day: Sales is a tough job , many peoples perceptions of sales may glamourize the job. Its the salesperson who has to win the orders , deal with disappointment , rejection , bad manners and resentful people. Sales is long hours and stressful , always chasing the orders and new business , some sleepless nights . Ghosting from targets who expect the earth today, site visits hundreds of miles away then don't have the courtesy to respond. The next time you interact with a salesperson remember were only human and we do have feelings we have families , problems , pets and mortgages to pay and one day you will need a salesperson. I disappear for walks with my dog Wally ,he has a really calming effect on me and helps me mentally unwind , dogs are kind animals as a rule and show nothing but love to the owners maybe we should try to be as loving and caring ourselves . Please be nice to us . P.S I do not think there is a national be nice to a salesperson day but if not maybe there should be. Have a lovely weekend #benice #sales #kindness

Here’s what two years of door-to-door sales taught me about life -> 1. You can’t have progress without pain - It’s hard work, and you will get yelled at. 2. Opportunity is created not given - Luck can only go so far. Preparation is key. 3. Consistency is the great equalizer - As exciting as big sales days are, it’s the small everyday sales that add up. 4. Seek to understand first, then add value - Every customer is just a person with a problem to solve. Listen with real intent. 5. Learn to love progress, not results - There’s no such thing as bad days. Just character building days. 6. Never underestimate the power of kindness - I can’t say enough about this one. Just strive to be kind and good things come. What else would you add?

A very good summary of life in sales!

For me, the key here is using AI to inform the approach and to keep the human interaction. This may change over time, but from our research, currently prospects still value the effort from a human personal outreach. #sales #leadgeneration #prospecting #ai
