8. Selling is a skill and like any skill,
you can learn it!
Good salespeople are made, not born.
Top salespeople have a very positive perception
of themselves; they see themselves as a
consultant, an expert resolving their customer’s
problems.
They see themselves as completely professional
people in a highly respected profession and they
have high ethical standards.

.
The more enthusiastic and
knowledgeable you are about your

AND 20% IS TECHNICAL

11. Seven Steps of
Successful Selling
Consultative Selling is the process of
asking the consumer questions throughout
the sale to reach agreement on each
aspect of the purchase. When you learn to
do that effectively, closing is a natural
progression in the sale. In essence you are
acting as a ‘consultant’ rather than a
salesperson.
