learn To sell – The key to your Future.
Why did I include a chapter on selling in a book called The Millionaire Mindset?
I’ll tell you why. One of the most important and highest yield skills you can acquire is the
ability to sell. My next book will be about teaching people how to become sales superstars.
This book will give you an overview of my Sales Magic philosophy, and then I will give
you one of my most powerful techniques to grow any business. Companies have paid me
thousands to teach them that same strategy. No matter who you are, what you want to
achieve in life, or what you do now, becoming better at selling can only help you toward
financial freedom.
I know I can land in any free country in the world with only $100 in my pockets
and I will be okay financially in no time because I know how to sell. I know how to get
others to adopt my ideas and plans. I learned from the best. The best are all rich. All the
rich people I know, know how to sell.
She grabbed my arm, pulled me over to one side of a crowded seminar room and
blurted out a story I had heard all too often.
“I’ve been in sales for six years, and I’m working harder now than ever. The
problem is, I’m broke. Yes, I’ve read all the books and have taken all the seminars. I
even memorized 18 ‘Power Closes’ from a famous American motivator. I have a positive
attitude, I did affirmations and visualizations, and the back seat of my car is loaded
with motivational CD’s. But I am still broke! What can I do to finally start earning
the money I want and the money I know I can earn in sales?”
You can have the most positive attitude on the planet AND sell the greatest product
or service AND be the best dressed salesperson this side of Kota Kinabalu AND be able
to quote everyone from Tom Hopkins to Zig Ziglar AND still be broke IF YOU DON’T
HAVE EFFECTIVE, AFFORDABLE, AND UNIQUE METHODS OF ATTRACTING
PEOPLE TO YOU WHO ARE QUALIFIED AND PREDISPOSED TO BUY WHAT
YOU SELL.
One of the greatest problem’s salespeople have today is they are using outdated
methods for getting customers. The problem is salespeople have a flawed model of selling.
Unless you adapt and change your selling model, you’re cooked when it comes to success
in selling. The selling method most people are using may have worked in the past, but it
absolutely won’t work in the future. Unless salespeople make some significant changes in
their approach to selling, it’s my prediction that over the next five to ten years salespeople
will have to work harder to even hit their current targets.
