\"\"<\/a>We have learned throughout the two weeks of class that we have had so far that we are all in sales, all the time. For some of us, that took us by surprise. We rejected it at first, saying “I haven’t sold anything in my life”, or “This goof in the glasses has no idea what the heck he is talking about.” The last two weeks have shown us that sales do not mean you have to be in a cream white button down shirt and brown corduroy slacks with a tie from the eighties while sitting behind a cubical and calling number after number to try desperately to sell something (although this type of sales exists). We have learned that we have been selling our entire lives without even realizing it! What!?!?!?!? When we stop and dissect the meaning behind sales and how they are part of our lives, we realize that sales are not inherently evil, but good for both the consumer and the seller. Some ask “How did I not know that\u00a0I have been selling all of my life?” The answer is that we sell what we are passionate about, and then we do not see it as sales. Selling is selling, you do it all the time, but what is the difference between knowing when you are selling and when you don’t realize it? We all know we are selling or when someone is selling when they do not believe in or are excited in the product in question. It is forced and desperate in those cases. When you are passionate about something, like pistachio ice cream, you are not trying to “sell” all of your friends to try it, but you are rather trying to “convince” them to try it. When you believe in your product, it is not a sense of trying to get the sale to get paid, but rather an opportunity to make someone’s life better with something that you are passionate about. If\u00a0I hated ice cream, but was set with the task of selling pistachio ice cream,\u00a0I would not be very good at my job and would probably hate going to work. What if pistachio ice cream was the reason that my life was saved from the deadly nut-deprivation disease,\u00a0I would be pretty excited about it, right!? I would love to go to work and tell people about the wonders of this frozen nutty dairy. Having a reason or passion behind your sale means getting the sale or not getting the sale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
