Unless you hold a traditional sales role at a company\nsomewhere, my guess would be probably not, but if you take a moment to think\nabout what selling actually is and what you do every day you might be surprised\nat what you discover. How would you define \u201cselling\u201d? Is it getting someone to\nbuy whatever you are offering? Is it manipulating people to spend money on\nsomething they do not need? Is it a deceptive scheme just to make as much money\nas possible? While maybe parts of all of those are true and I do not know your\nexperience with the sales process, I would argue selling is the art of moving\npeople to embrace what you are offering, whether that be a product or service,\nidea, process or system, you name it. It is moving someone to accept whatever\nit is you are offering to them. Of course, this can be wielded in a positive\nand beneficial way to better a person\u2019s life or it can be used to harm, take advantage\nof and ultimately hurt people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking this idea of selling into\naccount, think about the things you do every day. Whether you are a student,\nteacher, engineer, businessperson, lawyer, scientist, parent, babysitter, food\nservice provider, retail worker, you name it; you are in the field of selling. You\nare moving people to part with their resources whether it be time, money,\nopinions etc. and choose whatever it is you are offering instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We all possess this power of selling in each of our individual ways and it is important for us to think about how we can use it to best make the world a better place. I encourage you in all of your dealings with the people in your life and work to communicate with utmost honestly all for the purpose of trying to make their world a better place for them to live.
