If it were just about being nice and friendly, then no guy would need sales skills. If the trick were just to be nice, most of the world, at least the nice people, would all be doing great. If nice guys finish first you could be the kind-hearted millionaire next door.
The reality is that most of you put too much significance on being nice and not enough emphasis on closing deals down. The nicest thing you can do for a customer is to make sure they make a decision and take action to get a solution: your product or service.
Meh, I am a nice guy and I am killing it in life and in business. I'm also pretty good at sales, which is mostly engaging and connect with people (empathy) while maintaining confidence and knowing what you are talking about.
@eeks great post mate keep on steeming bro
I think that depends on what you're selling. If you're selling a fixed timeshare in orlando, you probably have to be a little pushy, whereas if you're selling a ferrari, you can just let the person walk in and watch him hand you money.
If you're selling a timeshare in Orlando, you should probably rethink the world you want to live in and how you can impact the realization of that world.
@eeks and @grantcardone - really contrasting ways of attaining ones goals in life. That's the beauty of life, no two people are alike. But who is to say what will or will not work for you? At the end of the day it is about being authentic and being happy with yourself and the things you do.....
The world is what one makes of it, whether making it better or contributing to its regression.
Oh I agree with you so much. With this and the above comment. Though I liek to reprhase nice to good. Therefore I'd call you a good guy. And I think everyone should be aspiring to be a good guy
And you might very well be that person if you are killing it.
Keep on killing.
