What Are You Selling?


"Everyone lives by selling something."

R L Stevenson
19th century Scottish novelist


Have you ever said you are not a salesperson, glad you are not a salesperson and/or criticized, berated, made fun of salespeople?

No matter what you do for a living, you sell. Whether it be your ideas, proposals, concepts, suggestions, you have to sell them to someone even when you are the one giving orders.


And when you look for a job, guess what. You are absolutely selling . . . you.


Now who's the salesperson?

  2. I think that "selling" and "influencing" are interchangeable.

  3. They are and I doubt few people other than those who do sales for a living, understand that fact.
