When you say the word salesman you automatically picture someone who is slimy and out to make money on you so as a business owner you reject the idea of being pushy because its just not your personality.
Reality is everything can and is sales....
If you are married right now then you know to be with your partner, you had to do some selling of yourself or if you ever went on an interview, then you know you had to present yourself in the best light possible and explain how that job would benefit by hiring you.
Most people dread selling anything or coming across as "salesy"
Here is what you can do TODAY to become a better salesman:
1. Mindset
Think of Sales as helping your customers who are eager to buy from you but are either not aware you exist or not sure how you can help. It's your job to educate, explain and say what's in it for them.
2. Understand your WHY
Understand why you are selling something is essential to support your first point. You are providing a service or a product that others want and to know exactly why they need you will help you to strategize your approach.
3. Fundamentals of sales techniques
