Episode 9
Why you must know how to sell
In this episode of Startup Survival, we’re talking about all things sales. Sales is often a topic that makes some people run for the hills…think, car salesman or someone who leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Often the negative ideas surrounding sales come from a bad personal experience.
However, as a business owner, entrepreneur, or really any professional, it’s vital to know how to sell. Don’t let someone else represent your company before you know how to do it.
Literally, every person in every department needs to understand how to sell.
Do you know how to sell yourself? Or your work product? Many people don’t even realize how much we sell in our everyday lives—we sell our priorities, to our spouses to get buy-in on a new house project, etc.
In this episode, we cover the importance of knowing how to sell, and how to go about learning the skill.
