Everyone is in Sales

UGHHGH. Many people cringe at the thought of having to “sell” something. Many others cringe at the thought of being “sold” something. But in reality, we are all in sales. Teachers sell ideas, knowledge, and creativity. Parents sell values, security, discipline, and legacies. Film writers and actors sell suspense, escape, and entertainment. Bosses sell work habits. Furniture sales people sell furniture and comfort. Starbucks sells coffee and loyalty. Disney sells an experience. Human Resource managers sell policies and employee culture. Politicians sell, well …good politicians sell integrity as well as safe and sound government. Don’t fear being in sales. The key is to believe in what you are offering.
