I searched the internet for the best sales tips. I found several articles that gave ten or fifteen best pieces of advice. I picked the one linked below, 10 Tried and True Sales Tactics, to see which ones that have worked on me, and one I found interesting.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are the ten tactics:<\/span><\/p>\n

    In class we have talked about nearly all of these tactics. Ones that I have experience before that I have been particularly receptive of are showing and not telling, focusing on customer goals, and making sure to follow through. There was a time where I was considering whether or not to sign up for pretty expensive baseball training. I was on the edge going into the \u201cfree session\u201d but then the owner had me go through some drills, took some video, and made some suggestions. He also focused on where I wanted to be with skill wise in baseball. Finally, he sent a plan of what I would be doing to attain my goals. I signed up for the\u00a0 program.<\/span><\/p>\n

    One of the most interesting to me is maintaining your integrity. As a Christian, this is especially important to me. Sales is an area of life that can be dishonest. We see this in everyday business, like a devious car salesman, but it also can be in large-scale sales settings, like using a bribe to make a multi-million dollar sale. Other forms of dishonest sales are false advertising and plans that have hidden fees. James 1:26 says, \u201cThose who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless.\u201d Christians are held to a higher standard because if we are dishonest, it is like spitting in religions face. Often times people have a bad image of Christianity because of hypocrisy. Christians have the duty to be honest in the marketplace even when no one else is.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
