Everybody Sells.. Without Exception!

This pic of a slide from Blair Singer’s talk is from the movie Boiler Room, starring Ben Affleck.

This excerpt/scene shows a sale is being made every time whether you like it or not, or know it or not. We are all in sales. You are either selling yourself, your dreams, your wants, your ideas, your beliefs, or a myriad of other things associated with daily living.

For Sales Professionals, this scene stresses and magnifies the truth about sales. Every time you make a sales call, if you're not closing the sale you have just been suckered into accepting your prospects sales pitch. Either way a sale will be made. Who's will it be?

This Post is especially dedicated to Manulife Agents of Center Point, Bandar Utama.

Tip: Recite this script with an edge and passion (put your emotion and angst behind it) in a private or secluded area before every sales call (even lock yourself in a toilet cubicle if you have to and tell yourself this with conviction) and observe how your sales sky rocket :)

Wow. This is another insight on selling.

Everytime when I turn down a sale person for selling me something, I actually thought there's no selling involved. And now I realized, for such a bad sale person that I am... I actually sell quite a bit. Hah!

For all the sale people out there, I am sure this is such a valuable tips from Marc. Also, do check out Singer Blair's book - Sales Dogs, for some best secrets on selling.

Marc, Thanks for sharing!
