There’s nothing better in this world than going throughout your life and seeing sales happen right in front of your eyes. It’s a lot like watching a nature documentary and seeing the beauty of life in front of your eyes. You can learn you can learn a lot by being a part of the sales process in front of your eyes. The examples that I am referring to are the many sales opportunities that I get to witness while living on a fraternity hall. I have a friend named Preston that tries to sell egg sammies for those that don’t know what egg sammies are they basically are just egg sandwiches except instead of sandwich we say Sammy. Preston likes to sell the egg sammies for a whopping $4 what he doesn’t realize is that this is way too expensive. What we learned from this situation is that my other friend ray he is also in a sales class can sell his eggs sammies for $1.50. The first distinction is in price as a salesman it’s important to realize that people always like things cheaper. I’m not that great at math but what I can realize is that $4 is a lot more than $1.50 especially when you have $0.00 in your bank account. Ray also has great conversation with me while I’m waiting for my egg Sammy to be made. Some of the questions he likes to ask me are how am I doing or what’s up man. This shows that he cares not only cares about his product but his customers. As a student that has learned a lot in this class one thing that I will take away for future reference is always treat your customers with care and ask them questions even if you don’t like them. So what we are learning from this blog is that not only is price important but some people call egg sandwiches egg sammies. Another thing I want to tell you is that it’s important to always ask questions and make your client feel welcome. You do this by asking good questions and realizing that charging $4 for an egg sandwich is ridiculous know your customer know your price the end.

I really like how you talked about the in person sales process. With the covid 19 pandemic slowly vanishing I think that these in person sales processes are going to happen more and more. So, this is more important as we move forward.
After taking Sales in the Startup, I definitely appreciate the sales process more. It isn’t as easy as I originally thought. I now have greater sympathy for people in traditional sales roles, and love being able to recognize when someone is engaging in non-sales selling.
The sales process in person is a different feel that watching it happen. However, the more you do it hands on, the calmer you will learn to be in high pressure moments.
