Direct Selling Pt 2

Wikipedia defines “direct selling” a channel for a distribution of goods and services. At a basic level defined as marketing and selling products, person to person away from fixed retail location. Sales are made through party plans and other personal contact.
The one thing that a person shouldn't be is afraid of selling. But there is a few who has that fear of selling in front of people. So how do we overcome the fear of Selling? The first thing is figure out exactly what you're afraid of. Does the thought of success scare you? Or could it be the thought of rejection? Do you fear that maybe you're being pushy? Or maybe the product doesn't meet the expectations of your customers?
After you figure out what you're scared of then selling becomes as natural as breathing, especially if you love what you're selling. You have to believe in what you're selling or you will never get very far and will be giving up just as quick as you started. Did you know that people by nature are natural born sellers? If you go to the movies or to a restaurant and you like what you seen or what you have eaten you naturally go and tell family and friends about it. You wouldn't think twice about not selling the idea of that movie or that restaurant, so it shouldn't be so hard to sell what you believe in, but somehow we just can't seem to get the words out as easy. I feel a lot of it is the fact that we feel guilty that we are taking money from family and friends. What you need to do is place them in another category, such as “Potential customer” and then sell them your product and then move them from “Potential customer” to “Customer.”
But until you take the fear of selling out of your vocabulary it will hold you back. So hope that this gives you the courage to overcome the fear and the misconception that it isn't impossible to sell to family and friends. Sometimes that is what it takes to make that first sale and get the word out. The best form of advertisment is “Word of mouth” and your family and friends can help spread the word.
Take care till next time and happy businessssssssssing!!!!
