Employment Research Institute's Chief Executive Officer, A. Harrison Barnes, in a webinar discussed the importance of selling.
According to Harrison the more you sell, the better you will do in your life and career. The best and most successful people are always selling. You should have no preconceived notions about the value of selling because it is among the most important skills you can have. If you understand sales, you understand and control your life.
Harrison believes that selling is the most important career skill you can have. All the people are involved in sales, even if they do not realize it. Selling is the most important career skill imaginable, and the most important people in the world are absolute masters at sales.
Selling yourself is about more than simply telling others how good you are. It’s also about showing others the value you can bring them. A huge mistake a lot of people in the job market make is forgetting they are a product. Yes, you are a product. Everyone is a product. We are products because in order to make money and add value to the world we have to get people to”buy in” to whatever services or skills we are offering.
Selling yourself will really help you stand out in your job or in your job search. This means packaging yourself in the right manner. This is all about how you look and how you come across. In most competitive jobs, employers can afford to be incredibly picky. Make the most of who you are. This means packaging yourself to the best of your ability, always being at your best, and selling yourself.
Develop your sales skills. Whatever your goal in life may be, becoming an effective salesman will help you achieve it.
