Selling first thing first - YOU

Selling first thing first is selling you
and your team. Are your messages true
and sincere? Are you reliable and responsible?
Do you and your team inspire confidence?
If the answer is yes, then you won't be making promises you can't keep.

Sales people often over promise to attract
new business. It's a temptation best avoided as it creates false expectations, which compromise quality and brand loyalty.
Long-term relationships are all about confidence and trust. Once you have it, you
can sell anything,

Effective selling identifies with people's experiences and self-interest. Like friendships, people bond when they share common ideas and experiences.

Positive experiences repeated over time build confidence, trust and loyalty. This is how brands grow, not by acquiring more clients. Brand value is experienced and measured only by the individual.

Nobody buys products and services

Everyone is buying an idea that is self-serving and represents a desire, dream or expectation. It can be as simple as having to be in a particular place for a meeting and using the best means to get there. Or it could be a series of career moves to fulfil an ambition. In both cases, the transportation and career moves (services) represent tokens of value towards fulfilling the goal (idea).
