Make Selling Fun!

JT

Why are people so afraid of selling when in fact...

They sell all the time!

YOU’RE SELLING!

When you suggest to your friends to watch a particular movie or to listen to certain songs,

YOU’RE SELLING!

When you’re convincing a company to hire you during a job interview,

YOU’RE SELLING!

When you recommend a place to eat to your friends,

You sell when

• …you invite your friends to your party

• …you introduce one friend to another friend

• …you tell people your favourite brands, favourite singers, favourite books, favourite food and drinks, favourite sports team, favourite cars, and the list goes on.

MORE SELLING…

The bottom line is…

We sell all the time but why are we telling people that we

hate selling?

People do not fear selling, they fear rejections. When rejections happens, self esteem and confidence take a hit.

FUN makes a big difference between enjoying and disliking selling. When you enjoy selling, you tend to create more chances of success.
