Everyone is a salesperson.
You’re selling when you try to convince your partner to eat at the new steak house on Friday instead of your regular go-to Mexican restaurant.
When you suggest to your best friend to shop her wardrobe before buying another dress, she’ll only wear it to an event once that’s selling.
And when you’re inviting your dream clients to work, buy and spend time with you, that’s selling too.
A modern salesperson spends most of her days persuading, influencing and convincing others to invest money, spread ideas and part with resources.
Selling isn’t just about getting cash. It’s about moving people and helping them act.
If you want to fulfil your purpose, have a successful business, and do good for your community. You need to embrace this new definition of selling.
If you want to learn how to create your ethical sales strategy, listen to my conversation with my good friend and sales coach, Elena Ciccotelli.
