We recently had a speaker come into class and talk to us about his job at Praxis. He shared with us very useful advice about how to approach the world of sales. One of the things he talked about was empathy. This is something we have been discussing in depth in our class, and important to building relationships with people. Being able to put yourself in the other person’s shoes and understand their feelings is the key to a good salesperson. This also includes the ability to get people to talk about themselves. By taking the focus off of yourself and what you are selling, you will be able to hone in on the customer’s wants and needs. It will allow you to understand the other person’s interests. The last thing he talked about was being able to take rejection as a salesperson. The best way to do this is by doing cold calls. Through this, you will encounter a lot of rejection, but it will allow you to build a tough skin and be able to handle situations that are not always pleasant. Personally, I thought this was a great point that he made in class. As we prepare to enter the world of sales, there will be times when rejection is unavoidable, but by acknowledging this and preparing for it, we can better equip ourselves for the world of sales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
