Ever noticed how a man sells?
You’ve got it Sista!
They completely own their self worth and don’t doubt it…Not an ounce. “You wanna buy my stuff…You’ve gotta pay!”
But as kind hearted women, we must realise that to go from a hobby business to a ‘real’ business we have much to learn about selling!
The truth is, you can make ‘real’ money in a business that you love!
Sometimes we (being woman) complicate it. With our dominating thoughts being “Is it enough? Have I put in enough value? What if I just gave them a bit of a discount…. And so it continues.
I want you to imagine it is the middle of summer. The breeze is gentle and blowing off shore. You are hot (and temperature wise haahha!) sandy, dying of thirst but you really want to plunge your face into a cold, creamy ice-cream. Over in the distance you see some eye catching bunting, it is not an oasis it is a funky ice-cream truck. You hear Greensleeves in retro and you grin as you stroll over. You stand in line, reflecting on how amazing life is and how lucky you are to find an ice-cream truck. But one that serves the ice-cream you really want! You get up to the window and you see a women standing to the left of the counter…You wait…You look around for the bell thinking you need to let her know you are here…You holler a “Coooeeee” into the window and this well presented woman timidly appears. Yes… She says without looking at your eyes….
“Hi, I would love to buy one of your ice-creams please”
“Do you want to have a try first, just to make sure you really want to buy one?” She enquires.
“Um…” You say a bit bewildered. You know you wanted an ice-cream, and asked for one. But what the hell you say.
“Sure!”
She proceeds to give you a taste of at least 5 ice-cream flavours. Geez you think.. I am getting full. She continues to show you expert passion what else you can have & lets you try the extras as well.
“I can give you a discount too, and there is a money back guarantee. Which flavour would you like”
You are now completely full. Too full to buy an actual ice-cream. You loved what you tasted and tell her you will be back next time you are in town.
You wanted ice-cream. You got ice-cream. But you didn’t pay a cent.
She had ice-cream you wanted and asked for.She thought it wasn’t enough.
The ice-cream lady goes home, and is tired. She looks at her sales and is saddened. But I have been working so hard!
Can you see the ABSURDITY……?
If someone wants your product or service and asks to buy it. Do me a favour and sell it to them.
