Episode-2271- The Most Valuable Skill Most People Are Never Taught




The Survival Podcast show

Summary: Tweet That skill in three words is simply, “how to sell”, simply put, “sales is life and life is sales”.  One huge problem we have in life is people compartmentalize everything.  I.E. “Sales is something sales people do, and I am not a sales person, so I don’t need to worry about it.” My one word response to this is………BULLSHIT. Have you ever asked anyone out on a date?  Did you ever interview to get into a school?  Did you ever try out for a team?  Have you ever interviewed for a job?  Did you as a child ever convince your parents to buy you a toy? Well, sales, sales, sales and sales are what the above items are. The single most valuable thing I can teach you about sales is what I call an absolute definition of it.  An absolute definition means a simple statement that requires no further explanation and works all the time, every time.  My absolute definition of sales is “a transfer of belief” and lets put it to test with the above questions. Getting a date – you transfer the belief that I am worth spending time with. ~ Getting into school – you transfer the belief that I will be a good student. ~ Getting on a team – you transfer the belief that I will be a good player. ~ Getting a job – you transfer the belief that I will be a good employee. ~ Getting a child’s toy – you transfer the belief that the toy is worth buying for some reason. Do you see how simple that really is?  The truth is all of use are natural born sales people, we have something I started calling an “inner salesman” a long time ago.  Sadly for most of us, it is literally beaten out of us by the time we most need it.  Today I am going to put you back in touch with your old friend and tell you how he/she can help you build a better life.
