We don't talk enough about sales. Its become a dirty word because of all the cold calls and spam.
Learning to sell is one of the most important skills you can learn.
Whenever you are trying to convince, persuade or influence you are selling.
Trying to hire talent = selling
Convince your wife to be all-in on a power move = selling
Converting a lead into a client = selling
Trying to get a bill or invoice reduced = selling
Get a raise = selling
Learning to sell in a authentic way has moved the needle in my personal finances more than any 401k tip or even Bitcoin.
No, selling is not being annoying or scummy. It's about creating a win-win and reading the situation.
