Last month we talked the benefits for
getting better at sales as a freelancer.
This month we’re covering tactics...but not just any tactics. This is for people who don’t see themselves as natural salespeople and who might even be a little shy or even scared to start “selling”.
So for December, I’m going to walk through four techniques that have helped me go from terrible at sales to comfortable and confident...let’s go!
This habit is extremely powerful.
It honestly translates to the workplace, relationships...basically any interaction.
Start trying to answer what people want. What’s motivating them to start a conversation, make a threat, or try to get attention? What will make them walk away satisfied from an interaction.
Train your mind to ask and answer this question and you’re 90% of the way to becoming a great salesperson.
