Life lessons = Sales Lessons

Life lessons = Sales Lessons

Sales lessons are really life lessons. It is amazing how life and sales parallel each other. As Cyndi and I enter our 50th year of marriage in 2020 (and they said it wouldn't last!), I'm reminded of several life/sales lessons from our marriage.

Here's a for-instance:

When should you tell your wife you love her? Answer: before someone else does! This is an important life lesson. It does apply to your sales career as well. When should you tell your clients you appreciate them? Before your competitor does!

Another: if you don't listen to your children, they will find someone who will! (And it may not be the person or group you want listening to them.) The same is true with your customers. If you don't listen to your customer, they'll find another salesperson who will. Ouch! The key: Listen so they'll talk, talk so they'll listen.

May the best of your 2019 be the worst of your 2020. Grow get 'em this year!
