This entry really made me feel good about myself. I'm naturally a PR gal, storyteller, marketer, etc. I can sell ideas, but selling a tangible product… definitely not my forte. Thank you for continually inspiring me. I'm in the process of pitching investors so I can hopefully hire my own "Justin" type.

Thank you, this topic (as well as comments from other readers) helped me realize why I am not suited to sales or PR job (and why I shouldn't feel bad about it).

Sales is all about empathy and information. Pushy sales people will work in some areas but if you ever want to be a great sales person it is more about connecting. And that goes for anything from selling used cars to a coffee mug tree. Whatever you are trying to sell you need to know how to relate to the person you are trying to sell to. Nick

There are two kinds of sales people… good, and bad.

Good = what you describe yourself as – you take something you believe in, and sell it… if the product is what you expect, you're not so much selling, as letting something awesome and desirable sell itself. This isn't sales, it's providing people a service, letting them know that something they need is out there, and all they have to do is grab ahold

Bad = selling things people don't want or need, by convincing people that they really do want/need this. A good example is car sales folk… a good car seller will lie, cheat and steal to get you to sign on the dotted line.

Please consider to hire good sales staff instead of trying just to sell products yourself.
And like John wrote – it´s natural for real salesperson to sell products.

I love sales and I am very good at it. I really believe the reason why I am good at it is because I love it. That helps tremendously. I also believe that in order to get the sale, this person has to at least like you in order to give you the sale. Now, I am not good at all sales. I can close sales over the phone alot better than I can close sales in person…. Listen, we all have a gift and we are all good at something. You just have to find out what that is. Good luck to you all:)
