If you’re someone who dreads the thought of selling, you’re not alone. Many people feel uneasy or even averse to the idea of having to sell a product or service. But what’s at the root of this discomfort? Often, it traces back to a fear of rejection, a reluctance to be perceived as pushy, or a misconception that selling is inherently manipulative.
Now, I’m going to help you unpack these barriers. To start, let’s consider the fear of rejection. It’s a pretty universal human experience to want to be accepted, and the thought of someone saying ‘no’ can be paralyzing. Yet, in sales, ‘no’ is not a personal slight—it’s just part of the game.
You might also worry about coming across as overly aggressive. Nobody wants to be that stereotypical pushy salesperson. I’m here to tell you that sterling sales skills are about finesse, not force. When done right, it’s about guiding someone to a solution that can genuinely help them.
Lastly, if you think of selling as a manipulative enterprise, it’s going to be inherently unappealing. That’s why it’s vital to realign your perspective. Selling, at its heart, is about problem-solving and creating value. When you believe in your product’s ability to improve lives, your approach will feel more authentic and far less intimidating.
In the following section, ‘Shifting the Mindset: Selling as Helping and Problem-Solving,’ we’ll delve into how changing your mindset can transform your sales experience. You’re going to find out about ways to redefine selling in your mind so that it feels more like a conversation rather than a transaction. Don’t worry too much about completely overhauling how you feel overnight. You can always adjust your approach down the road.
