When I first began to publish my sales tips here. The first couple of rounds, I put out 250 at once. This was too many for people to benefit from at a single sitting. So I am going back through the first 500, updating and republishing them 100 at a time, so they will be in a more useful format for you.

     Here are the first 100 + some helpful, instructional notes to get you into the mindset to benefit from them. It is hard to sell, if you don’t “get into it.” Here are some thoughts about the “Guts” of selling; to help you get your heart in the game. 🙂

     Many, many people will have some sales position or experience in their career. And I enjoy helping these people who are selling just for a season. But my greater passion is to help the selling professional. That Gutsy man or woman, who has decide to make the thrust of their vocational life working in the selling arena.

     Selling is like art or music. It is always evolving. Always changing and always taking new flavors of variety that continue to make it one of the most interesting career paths one can follow.

     Selling is an extension of the person. Everything that you personally do is after all, a pursuit of selling. For each time, you find it necessary to persuade anyone else, of anything else; other than what they already believe: Then you are indeed participating in the selling arena. Because boiled down and synthesized into its most essential elements; Sales will always be the art of persuasion.

     I advocate that all selling professionals continue their training, as long as they remain in the field. Still, if you are to find fulfillment in the selling endeavor; then a lot of your growth and development must come from within. You are unlikely to succeed more on the outside, than you do on the inside.

     Never forget that your ability to sell will never exceed your ability to communicate. Become a master communicator and you are much more likely to become a master sales pro. // Read these attached sales tips and let them be the catalyst for you next wave of sales growth. Go for it!
