If the key to a sale is finding something that someone needs and giving it to them then there is a clear answer. The answer is definitively a non-sales situation and it is the Gospel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important thing to sell people on is their need for the grace of Jesus Christ. I&#8217;ve had some amazing and also frustrating experiences in trying to effectively communicate and share the Gospel. My main experiences with sharing the Gospel have been through Young Life. It may be an interesting take to say that you have to &#8220;sell&#8221; the good news as it is indeed a free gift. That&#8217;s why it falls under non-sales selling though, you get nothing in return for giving it to people. It is the most important thing you can sell people on. It radically changes your life when you believe in Christ, it is the best thing you could possibly convince someone of. Young Life takes a relational angle in sharing the Gospel much like many salespeople take when interacting with customers. It requires a build up of trust and knowledge of who you are talking to to earn the right to share the Gospel. People are more likely to respond to your &#8220;pitch&#8221; if they trust that you have something genuine and beneficial to offer them. What is more beneficial and genuine that the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Ultimately this is the most important thing to sell people on in life and the most valuable thing to buy into that will impact more than our tangible, worldly lives and have eternal implications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being able to effectively communicate with prospects is critical in all sales environments. In the instance of sharing the gospel there are many different techniques which given the sensitive subject matter can make or break an evangelizing opportunity. Young Life currently has 88 members and there is a wide variety of personalities and character traits. Ultimately being a single member in the body of Christ means you bring different styles and skill sets to sharing the gospel. Just as is the case in being a part of a sales team, it is beneficial to examine your own strengths and use them to your advantage in whatever situation you are facing, be it secular or religious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-src=\"http:\/\/gccwebsites.com\/startupsales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/photo_2019-02-24_21-26-32-1-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5184 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gccwebsites.com\/startupsales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/photo_2019-02-24_21-26-32-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gccwebsites.com\/startupsales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/photo_2019-02-24_21-26-32-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gccwebsites.com\/startupsales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/photo_2019-02-24_21-26-32-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gccwebsites.com\/startupsales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/photo_2019-02-24_21-26-32-1-624x416.jpg 624w, https:\/\/gccwebsites.com\/startupsales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/photo_2019-02-24_21-26-32-1.jpg 1280w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/682;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the most important thing to sell to someone?
