The sales profession gets a bad rap.
On the one hand, no sales = no business.
On the other hand, the selling process scares sales people stiff.
An article in the Wall Street Journal by Lauren Weber on February 6, 2015 titled, “Why It’s So Hard to Fill Sales Jobs,” highlighted the difficulty in attracting people to the field due to its perception of being high risk and competitive.
The fear of selling stems from a number of factors.
One of which is: The sales person does not know how to sell.
If you know what you’re doing… then… there’s nothing to fear. But when you are confused and untrained anything (including something simple) can seem daunting.
One out of nine people in the U.S. workforce is employed in sales.
Professional selling represents the second-largest employment category.
And yet, most salespeople have minimal, if any, formal training in sales.
Wanna guarantee you fail in sales – or anything? Then don’t get the training needed to know your craft. Wanna guarantee you have a fighting chance of making sales a lucrative profession?
Then… get the sales training you need to succeed.
