Nothing?
Let’s face it. You sell something every day, in every waking hour of your life.
Not you?
Do you have kids? Do you manage that sometimes your offspring do what you want as a parent? Then you must be already a sales genie. Kids – one of the toughest customers for Mami’s and Papi’s ideas.
Are you married or living in a partnership? Congratulations. You managed to sell the idea of a committed relationship to your partner. No small feat nowadays.
Do you have paying clients? Did they fall from the sky on your doorstep or did you actually have to sell them your services or product?
Life is selling.
On most days I manage to sell my kids on what we need to do (Yes, we need to hit the road NOW, otherwise … we will be late from YOUR football practice!). I sold my services to major companies in my past. And I am selling my services as a coach now to my prospective clients. I even sold the idea of marriage to my husband!
What do you really think about you selling? Do you love the excitement? Or do you see that as another thing that has to be done? Or maybe you get heart palpation even when thinking about turning a prospect into a client?
What do you think about being sold? Is it a happy experience? Do you feel used sometimes?
Do you enjoy the dance of seller and buyer? No? I don’t blame you. There are very, very few who understand the choreography of selling on this planet. But those who do, they get enormous rewards.
And what does my rambling about selling has to do with creativity? Come back to find out.
