Selling a product is easy, or at least it should be. The goal is not to land a sale, or try to persuade someone to buy something they don’t need. If you want to be a good sales person, make a connection with people and find out what they need.

Making a sale shouldn’t be about making money. It should be about helping people, plain and simple. If you can’t tell the difference between working and having fun then you are in the wrong business. There’s plenty of ways to earn a paycheck that are far simpler than trying to hustle money out of people.

When you are looking for a customer, know that not everyone is the right customer – and that’s ok. If people don’t need what you have, don’t force it down their throat. It’s also important to know that people aren’t commodities to be tossed away just because they can’t help you at that moment. Treat everyone with love and respect, and help them figure out what they need. Then give it to them.

Sales is all about helping – not taking.
