Everyone is in sales. Yes even you. The problem that we have is that we tend to think of sales as a function solely related to goods and services, but the art of sales relates to every facet of your life. Just think about it, you had to sell your employer on the idea of employing you. You had to sell your partner on the idea of going out with you. Kids have an inherent sales talent, they outsell their parents any day.

Every time you deal with another person either you are selling them or they are selling you. This leads to the feeling that the sales relationship has to be aggressive and is a case of win or lose. All too often this is the case but it should not be this way. The sales environment should be a matter of "win/win" both parties should come away feeling satisfied with the outcome.

We are going to look at changing your attitude from that of a "sales person" who must sell something to someone, to that of an "assistant buyer" who focuses on helping someone buy something.

To sell you, I must convince you. To help you buy I must assist you.

A salesperson pushes - An assistant buyer leads

Salesperson's attitude - I'll convince you to take what I've got.

Assistant buyer's attitude - I'll help you get what you need.

You've got to buy in before you can sell on.

To live your best life be true to the YOU, that you want to be.

Live with passion. Change your life from making a living to making a difference.

Live up to the reputation that you want to have.
