7-Second Thoughts December 1, 2024

Natural born salespeople

are a vision to watch, a pleasure to do business with and are rarely “the natural” they are made out to be.

I grew up around a lot of sales people

Including my dad, my dad’s buddies – who were more like a second family

And the majority of my real family

Almost all of whom have since left the field to highly successful and satisfying retirements

None of whom knew at a young age

That they were “called” to be in sales.

They just did what other successful sales people did

Which in large part included:

Consistently and persistently showing up in front of their prospects:

In sales meetings

At trade shows

At markets

In-store

On the road

At conventions

To try their lot

At communicating the benefit of their product

And how it could help their prospects

Turn a profit.

See if this helps:

If you can’t show up in person

Communicating

And publishing

Via social channels or email

The value of your product or service

And how it can help your clients turn a profit

Is often a much faster, more efficient, way less expensive way

To achieve the most common side effect

That I hear the most from hyper-consistent sales folks:

It’s like one minute I didn’t know what to say, and the next minute it all came out exactly as I’d hoped.

I’m here,

Kevin
