You'll Make More Money When You Love Being Sold To!

One of the important marketing and business skills you need to develop is the ability to observe world class marketers in action so that you can start to model their strategies and behaviour where appropriate WITHOUT feeling ‘sold to.’

I’m always intrigued to hear people say things like ‘she was trying to sell to me,’ or ‘he was always selling something,’ when they sign up to receive marketing training from a marketer!

I mean how can you or (they) for that matter learn world class marketing skills if they don’t like being sold to? 

I know I may be a bit unusual but when someone ‘gets’ me on the phone and starts to try to upsell me on something and they do it with real skill I actually enjoy it.

Okay told you I’m unusual so now you know!  We’re not robots – we’re thinking individuals but often we’ve been programmed to follow the ‘herd’ and do what everyone else is doing.

But what do most other people do?

They complain with a capital C cause for some reason complaining is considered cool in many circles.

But you are different because you want to develop a lifestyle that the complainers can only dream about don’t you?

That’s why you can’t allow yourself to be programmed with that lack mentality.

If you won’t invest in yourself it’s unlikely that people will invest in you and your services because they will feel the quick buck syndrome is at play.

When people offer me money for my consulting or services if I don’t genuinely believe I can help them and they are someone I can deliver huge value to I don’t take their money.

I’m serious. My time, my craft and my reputation is worth everything to me and I won’t risk it for a quick buck.

Have a think about that and how you will or do operate when people offer you money for your services.

What I want to teach you or remind you of is that you can pick and choose the programmes, products and services that trainers connect you up with …

I am not attached to whether you as an individual buy from me or sign up with me for consulting or whatever.

This is a process where my mission is to teach you what I learn as I learn and develop it.

So when I show you something cool it’s because I have personally invested my own time, energy and GUTS into developing it OR I’ve studied with a master (or mistress) who is passing it on to me.

I want to pass it on to you but will you accept it?

That is entirely up to you and I suggest you invest in yourself where appropriate but not treat your business like a mad shopping spree in Oxford Street at Christmas!

You are responsible for your cash flow – not your coach, nor your upline or even your partner.

Think about the skills you need to develop and figure out where and how you want to learn them and with whom.

Do you enjoy being sold to or do you feel uncomfortable about it?

That’s it but please leave a comment and share your thoughts.
