Are You Sold on What You're Doing?

Enthusiasm. Optimism. Excitement.

These are qualities that we look for and admire in others. Are they present in us?

These lie at the root of being a successful communicator and salesperson. We have to be sold on the opportunity that we represent. We have to be convinced of the value that it offers a typical customer - also its efficiency, effectiveness, durability, and reliability.

If we had a need for the type of product or service that we represent, would we buy from ourselves? The answer had better be a resounding "yes."

If we don't believe in what we are doing, how so we expect to convey to a potential customer that they should buy or invest in what we are promoting?

Before we ever attempt to sell a total stranger - or even a good friend or family member - our product or service, we need to be very sure that we believe in it and that we are sold on it ourselves.
