Good Day to all my Fellow Steemians!
Our topic for the day is all about:
A SALESPERSON IS LIKE GRANDMA'S CAKE RECIPE.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE ALL THE INGREDIENTS OR IT ISN'T THE SAME.
I read a book an excellent article about being a total salesperson. It made me think of when I tried to replicate my grandma's carrot cake recipe. It was ok but I left out few ingredients. Who knew what 1/4 tsp of cinnamon & substituting applesauce for oil would make that much difference?
Same as being a Salesperson. You need to have all the ingredients to be successful. Miss a couple ingredients, no matter how insignificant it seems, it makes a difference.
Start with:
Motivation
Commitment
Desire
You need to blend:
Personality
Passion
Humility
Empathy
Thinking skills
Honesty
Transparency
Flexibility
Mix with:
Communication
Listening skills
Willingness to learn
Keeping open mind
Openness to change/ adapt
Teamwork
Sacrifice
Frost with:
Accountability
Understanding
Effort
Knowledge
Top with lots of respect!
Haven't broke down all the measurements of how much of each ingredient needed but I got what I needed. But I know I need all of the ingredients to be the best person I can be.
Grandma just left me carrot cake recipe. As much as I love carrot cake, wish it was a Succesful Salesperson recipe instead.
Now I am off to bake.

Good
thank you!
Very good post. There is nothing better than having a good attitude to become successful!
yes indeed @cafeceitor! i strongly agree with you!
Enthusiasm, focus & self belief. The really top salespeople in the world aren't taught they are born like it, generally very chatty & quick with it they will snap a reply out as quick as a flash of lightning. They need to be good listeners too take in the clients requirements & dish out a consistent level of service. They will be socially easy going lightly matured & very easy to get along with I would say placid is a good quality to throw in. Now you got yourself a cake that won't just hit targets they will destroy targets with alarming regularity & take any business wherever it wants to go. Salesmanship is the oldest practiced profession in the world, Some say ladies of the night were but at the end of the day they were selling a product.
