The Sales Skill Set

Few people consider themselves to be "a good salesman," and that can be enough to cause them to turn away from - or give up on - a great opportunity like SendOutCards.

In my book on the subject, The Greatest Job You Never Thought Of, I call Sales The World's Most Valuable Profession for a number of reasons including the fact that anyone with any education level or career history can work hard and begin earning more than Wharton MBAs or Harvard MDs.

But how do you become good at sales? What skills must you develop in order to succeed?

By clicking on this link or "The Sales Skill Set" at the top of this posting, you can download a free copy of the chapter in my book which is called The Sales Skill Set in either Adobe PDF or MP3 audio format.

In this chapter I describe 20 different skills, ranging from Listening and Honesty to Product Knowledge and Persistence, which every adult can develop to become more effective in communicating the value of their offering. I have been told by salespeople, sales managers and business owners with many years of experience that my list and the way I describe each skill is one of the best they have seen on the subject.

#1 on my list is Belief in your product. This is something working in your favor as a SendOutCards distributor. I can tell you without hesitation that this company's service represents one of the best value propositions I have ever seen in business.

The combination of the price point, the service, the quality, the selection, the ease-of-use, the number of applications, the competitive landscape and the business opportunity relative the investment required - all add up to one of the best offerings you could ever present to friends, family - or complete strangers.

Not everyone will buy - nor even see the value - but every person could benefit from SendOutCards and enjoy its features at a very low price. That's something you can feel very good about as you go out and talk to people.

I hope you enjoy and benefit from the free chapter. Please post a comment to let me know what you thought of it.
