ONLY WAY TO SURVIVE AND PROSPER IN A RECESSION Selling is a Prerequisite for All Success and it impacts every person on this planet even those that don’t consider themselves sales people. If you are in the car business, your problem is not selling cars your problem is you aren’t selling (period). If you are in real estate and think real estate prices, foreclosures, tight credit are your problems you are incorrect, selling is your problem. If you are an actor the problem is not strikes or readers or the scripts it is that you are booking work (selling yourself). Van Gogh painted 800 masterful pieces of art and was only paid for one of them. You have left an environment where no one had to sell themselves and are now in an contracting environment where you have the sell regardless of your position! If you are in management or an executive the future of your company is dependent upon your ability to keep your people to be sold on the mission and then selling them on doing whatever it takes to accomplish that mission. If you are a husband or wife and want your marriage to be successful don’t think for a moment that isn’t a sales job. Your ability or your inability to sell, persuade, negotiate and convince others affects every area of your life and will determine how well you’ll survive. No matter your title or position in life, no matter what your role is in a company or on a team, you will at some point have to convince others of your position. Your ability to do so will impact you in a way that will determine the very outcome of your life. Selling is employed, every day by every single person on this planet; no one is excluded! Selling is not just a job or career. Selling is essential to the survival and well-being of every living individual on this planet. Your ability to do well in life depends on your ability to sell others on those things you believe in! You need to know how to negotiate and how to get another’s agreement at some point in your life in order to get what you want! The ability to get others to like you, work with you and please you determines how well you will survive. Selling is not a just job, selling is a way of life!
