So Just How Easy is it to do Sales?

So just how easy is it to do Sales? 

Some say its "A Walk in the Park"

While Some say "It is one of the hardest things they have attempted"

The reaction I typically hear is...

"Its a Walk in the Park.. Its super Easy"



Guess which Departments are typically saying that?

Management, Marketing, Support, and/or Development.

Essentially every department except for.. Wait for it....

Sales (the folks making it happen)

Don't get me wrong, Every department has its own intricate part in the sales process and they as well do sell a particular service.

They sell the level of Customer Service the business offers

They sell how educated and knowledgeable the staff is about the product

But until you ask someone for their money, the conversation takes a turn.

Asking for someones money is such a personal and intimate topic and truthfully at times

you will see a Whole new side to someone 

Sales is an extremely difficult process and you have to when to push and when to just listen.

To sum it up....

Doing Sales in Like Becoming A Doctor

It is very much a learning process

Out of the Gate, Some folks will have natural skills and will pick things up quicker

Some will have to stay up late and practice in front of the mirror

You will have to learn to adjust your approach as each sale/client is unique (Much like a Doctor: each patient has a unique scenario/obstacle)

There will be many times you do not understand why the client is driven to do something/ or say something but you will have to sit there and listen like an underpaid therapist (doctors must do this too)

Overall, there is a lot of unwritten things that go into Sales.

So with that being said....

Care to take a Walk in the Park  aka Do sales ?  : )
