In my business I offer people the opportunity to create an extra income. And so often, before I even get to the part about what I do, people tell me that they cannot sell. Isn’t it amazing? People do know that sales = income!
Let me give you a brief behind-the-scenes glimpse into my life. Before becoming involved in network marketing, I used to be a salesperson. At that stage I sold the most expensive lingerie range in South Africa. And I was good at it. But I hated the targets enforced on me, the out-of-stock situation, the schlepp of ordering products and customers cancelling orders at the last minute. Sales is not an easy job. That’s why it is such a good paying opportunity!
Then I was introduced to network marketing and I fell in love with it. I could see the opportunity not only to earn a living, but the chance to create wealth! So, I started selling the opportunity. With varying degrees of success, I might add. Soon I realised that I had only traded one product for another. And one set of challenges for another. What now? I thought to myself – I loved the concept of network marketing and I hated the idea of doing a 9 to 5 job! I knew I had to find a better way.
And then I attended a sales seminar by Barry Mitchell. My attitude towards sales changed completely. I discovered that sales is a life skill that can and should be learned. Here is a video of what I learned that day.
I realised yet again that network marketing is the safest way to learn this skill. In network marketing you will find mentors who will teach you all they know. What’s more, the training at most network marketing companies is free. Thus, learn a life skill that can serve you in other areas of your life and bring you a handsome extra income!
Barry Mitchell’s quote, to this day, makes a whole lot of sense: “I sold my way back. Sales = Income. If you can sell you can earn. If you can earn you can live. If you can earn well you can live well.”
Let me help you sell your way to success – it is a lot easier than you think! As my good friend Danie always says: If you are in any relationship, you have sold yourself to someone! When you understand the formula, you can have what you want.
