How to Master the Art of Sales (Stop Begging)

You are broke because you cannot sell.

You might be an "engineer" or a "writer" or a "manager," and you think sales is beneath you. You think sales is for the loud guy in the cheap suit at the car dealership.

You are wrong.

Life is sales. Dating is sales. Interviewing is sales. Getting your toddler to eat vegetables is sales.

If you cannot sell, you are at the mercy of those who can. You are a resource to be used, not a leader to be followed.

The Ogilvy Manual

Before David Ogilvy became the "Father of Advertising," he sold stoves door-to-door in Scotland.

He wasn't just good; he was the best in the world. His secret wasn't charm. It was psychology.

He wrote a manual for his peers. In it, he said something profound: "The worst fault a salesman can commit is to be a bore."

He understood that you aren't selling cast iron and heat. You are selling a vision of a better life. He didn't beg people to buy. He positioned the stove as a status symbol that the customer needed to complete their home.

He didn't ask for the sale. He led them to it.

Conviction is Contagious

Most people fail at sales because they try to convince the other person.

Masters transmit certainty.

Sales is a transfer of emotion. If I have a level 10 conviction that my product will save your life, and you have a level 5 doubt, my conviction overrides your doubt.

But if I stumble? If I look at my shoes? If I say "um" and "maybe"?

Then my conviction drops to a 3. Your doubt remains at a 5. No sale.

You don't lose the deal because the price is too high. You lose the deal because your certainty was too low.

The Instrument of Wealth

You can have the best product in the world. You can have the best script.

But if your delivery is weak, you will starve.

Your voice, your posture, and your eye contact are the delivery mechanism for your value. When you mumble, you are telling the customer, "I don't believe in this."

Why should they invest in you if you don't sound invested in yourself?
