successful salesperson doesn’t need to “act” like a
salesperson. This is said a lot when it comes to consultative
selling, or soft selling. But, one sales dynamo swears
by it.
Tessa Stowe has proved to her company that being a “facilitator” not a salesperson can and does work. Stowe says she simply talks to her clients, not sells them.

To
Tell the Truth
Slightly
more than half of 53,586 salespeople were found to exaggerate
when they are selling, according to a study conducted
by two Baylor University marketing professors.
These salespeople hope to sell more by “growing hair”
on their presentations, the professors noted. The article
on Central Valley Business Times includes an
audio link of a more in-depth interview of Prof. Jeff
Tanner for those who would like to hear what these professors
believe works in selling – truthfully, it’s honesty.

Afraid to Sell?
A
lot has been said about “fear” when it comes to sales.
Usually it boils down to fear of rejection. How does
the ego get over that fear? First and foremost, I recommend
personally removing yourself from the situation. If
a customer rejects your offer, they are rejecting your
offer, not you. You’re a good person, they just don’t
see the need for what you are selling at the time, that’s
all.
Michelle Nichols addresses these types of sales fears
in her Savvy Selling column at BusinessWeek.com.
Nichols also offers great advice on how to combat those
fears.

an order.
