WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF SELLING?

WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF SELLING?

We may all have definitions of selling, but I love this dictionary definition, namely:

“Persuading someone of the merits of”

When we embrace this definition it opens up so many possibilities. When we embrace this definition we realise that all of us sell from the cradle to the grave for we are constantly persuading others to see our point of view or do something for us. Thus, selling does not always involve a money transaction.

Babies crying, children agitating for a toy, adults proposing marriage, restaurant to eat at, place for vacation, religious and political views. The list goes on and on.

Of course, how successful you are at persuading someone of the merits of your offering will depend on how well prepared you are and how good you are at persuading others. Some are more successful than others. Why?

On a scale of 1 (poor) to 9 (love it) how well have I persuaded you to embrace this definition?

Happy selling
