Are you prepared to knock on doors, engage everyone you know and sell any chance you get, or would you be too embarrassed to do so?
We need thick skin if we want to champion a start up. And that involves selling every minute of the day, in every conversation. If we’re not prepared to do this, maybe we haven’t got what it takes, or worse, we don’t believe in what we’re doing.
That’s a fair point Stevie! Certainly the process of continual cold selling can get even the toughest campaigner down, but let’s face it, at the end of the day after you’ve just about had a shitful of rejections, 1-Bil with Jujube is a great way to relax and recharge, ready to start the whole process off again! What’s Jujube I hear you say? It’s this amazing herb that the Chinese have been using for thousands of years to bring back down the stress levels. Very, very relaxing. I don’t know whether or not it makes your skin any thicker or not though.
Dead Pan, you Roxxorz…. perfectly illustrating the point…. now how about going and putting some _information_ on the wiki?
about 1-BIL that it… 😉
The best sales guys i know sell almost unconsciously – they appear to be subject to an almost evangelical zeal to give you a deal you are truly happy with. The fact that they will benefit from it and that they may have to buff the product image or manipulate the potential customers mindstate to get the sale is beside the point when it comes to motivating toward a sales goal.
Seems cold-selling can become a state of mind that can be kept up almost indefinitely.
However, i let neither doorstep prosetyliser nor Amway merchants visit more than once….. maybe because i dont want my resistance eroded?
