Being an Entrepreneur is a lot more than making some good business ideas. Selling the product you make is half the battle. As an athlete, I always connect non-sales selling to athletic terms because it makes it easier for me to understand. Mattson Rule #7 is a perfect example of that connection. You never have to like prospecting, you just have to do it. As an athlete we do prospecting all the time as a program, constantly trying to find the right kids to sell our college and team on to get them to commit. It’s the exact same thing as an entrepreneur. Finding prospective clients to sell them on your product solving their issues to get a final sale.<\/p>\n
I think we can take the non-sales selling idea a step further than just every job does some type of non-sales selling. Being an athlete isn’t a job you do much selling in. You just play the sport. But you still have to do the steps associated with selling. Prospecting, networking events and groups, and finding the right fit for your team. Non-sales selling isn’t just a job thing, its an everything thing. If I can connect a Mattson core concept to being a lacrosse player at a small D3 school, we can connect non-sales selling to just about everything we do in life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
