‘New to Selling? 10 Tactical Sales Tips to Get You Started’ – HubSpot
Jeff White says, “If you can’t sell, you can’t survive as a business. Period.
The following blog post is a summary of my talk from Podcamp Halifax 2014. As you can see from a SlideShare we put together, I have attempted to relate these sales tips to some of TV and film’s most greasy salespeople. Most people hate these guys, and as human beings, they generally suck, but I have a theory that people who hate sales often tend to be doers and makers.
And if your only exposure to sales people are these guys, or worse yet, a bad car salesmen, you tend to think that in order to be good at sales, you have to be a greasy, conceited slimeball. But the truth is, even these slimy over-confident jerks can teach us something.
1) It’s time to get over your fear of asking for what you’re really worth. Never apologize.
One of my partner Carman’s favourite phrases is: Can’t sell to me, can’t sell for me. We frequently use it to remind ourselves of what we’re really doing when we’re heading into a closing meeting“.
