It is a process that is not easily done in one night although sometimes you have that luck. Being able to do sales is not about selling a product but selling value in what you can provide for the other party and how you can benefit the other party. Likewise, you want to acquire value through what you get in return for your efforts. Selling is about building trust especially in this field because you are there for the long haul. You need to know in and out what you can provide for the client and how what you are providing is better than what others can. Knowing an industry and actually walking through the work of being with people are two completely different things. You need to be able to separate your feelings from work in the idea that when people say no to you, they are not saying no to you but to what you are offering and if they are rude to you and do say no to you then you would not have wanted to work with them in the first place. Being able to handle problems in your work no matter what you end up doing will tell a lot about your character and how you deal when your back is against the wall. You must be able to calmly and collectively take on one task and then the other which in my opinion takes experience rather than just knowing you have to do so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During my sophomore year of college, I began my own financial planning practice through Northwestern Mutual as a Financial Representative.
