If you didn’t read my previous post about things you should “just do,” you probably won’t understand the photo pasted above.<\/p>\n

This is Shia LaBeouf making his second appearance on my blog. This time, however, he’s sad. He’s sad because we are talking about qualities and habits you\u00a0just don’t<\/strong> have if you’re trying to be a high-quality salesperson. See below for a list of things you… well,\u00a0just don’t\u00a0<\/strong>do.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Being Pushy –\u00a0just don’t.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    • Salesperson: “hi, can I help you find anything today?”<\/li>\n
    • Me: “no, thank you! just looking around.”<\/li>\n
    • Salesperson: “well would you like me to put some of our new makeup products on you to show you how they are?”<\/li>\n
    • Me: “no, thanks.”<\/li>\n
    • Salesperson: “oh, okay! What about our new line of perfumes, I am sure you would love them.”<\/li>\n
    • Me: rolls eyes, leaves store.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The situation above hasn’t actually happened to me, but plenty of others like it have. This one is simple – yet it seems that no one understands. Don’t be pushy. If I say I am not interested after you’ve asked me a billion and a half questions, I probably just need a minute to breathe because you’re stressing me out. Just don’t be pushy.<\/p>\n

      2. Always Talk –\u00a0just don’t.<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Everyone appreciates a good conversation, but the definition of a conversation is not “the salesperson talks the whole time and never asks me a question or listens to anything I have to say.” If you just take the time to listen to the customer, I can guarantee your conversation will go better and may actually end in a sale. If you realize you’re talking the whole time –\u00a0just don’t.<\/strong><\/p>\n

      3. Lying –\u00a0just don’t.<\/strong><\/p>\n

      In Entrepreneurial Ethics, the most important phrase you learn is: don’t lie and don’t steal. Plus, the Bible says you shouldn’t lie. I think this one is pretty self-explanatory. Just don’t.<\/p>\n

      4. Being Greedy –\u00a0just don’t.<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Another Bible verse could be inserted < here >. It can usually easily be detected when a salesperson is not really interested in what their customer wants or needs because all they’re focused on is the money. $$$$. You’ll end up with unhappy customers and no money anyway.<\/p>\n

      5. Being Annoying –\u00a0just don’t.<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Straightforward and to the point. No one likes to be annoyed, so why even attempt this failing technique?<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Next time you’re selling, and you find yourself doing any of these things –\u00a0just don’t.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
