Before I took this class, I had a different outlook on sales. I saw it as the “bribing people of their money” job. I learned that that’s actually the opposite of what sales should be. As a follower of Christ, I want everything that I do to glorify Him, and I think the right way of selling does just that. It’s not all about persuasion and manipulation, it’s really about trying to help people solve their problems. As Christians, it is a calling of ours to always people out, no matter who they are or what their background is. Sales is about providing solutions to help make their lives a little bit easier, which I think connects back to what we are called to do. Another thing that I learned about sales is anyone can go into the field. As someone who is not the most social person ever, I never thought sales would be for me. But, once I learned that it’s not all about the personality but it’s skills that can be developed in everyone I then had a different outlook on the field. You really just need to be able to talk to people and also have a heart for people. You want to be there to help them out, not just take their money. It’s a lot more of a truthful, genuine field than what I always thought it was. It’s about building relationships, providing value and help, offering solutions. Yes, we may run into a pushy and aggressive salesmen here and there, but that’s what the field as a whole is about. Another thing I’ve realized is that sales is incorporated in a lot more jobs than you think. You don’t have to be just in sales in order to do selling. These types of tricks and tips that we’ve learned in class can really apply to any field that deals with people. All in all, I’m so glad I took this class this semester because it truly taught me to have a different outlook on sales and learn what it’s really about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
