A big share of our social interactions involves marketing and selling ourselves, indeed, without necessarily adding a negative connotation to it as being materialistic, greedy or attention-greedy. When seeking recognition, likeability, friendship, understanding and all kinds of needs, we usually engage in the act of marketing ourselves (selling ourselves does have a negative connotation to it, sometimes as in being selling or letting go of core values).

 

I also agree with the notion that we're equally consumers, we consume the sold attributes of others or off course their products and services in exchange for some value we own. In overall work life, and throughout history, selling has always been part of human existence even when it entertaining non-capitalist economic or political theories/systems. Agriculture may have preceded trade and industry in evolution and revolution, but as soon as it provided surplus after securing needs for communities, this surplus was soon sold in exchange for other goods that agricultural societies didn’t have. Selling will not be out of this world soon.

Up to a larger extent I agree with you Mr. Zafar, but after a certain limit we are consumer too, or I would say, we do play as two side of coin on which one side we are sales person and other side we are consumer too.

WE ALL ARE SALES MAN IN THIS WORLD, ? WHAT IS YOUR VIEW ?

“Everyone lives by selling something,” noted the novelist Robert Louis Stevenson. People are selling either a product, a service, a place, an idea, information, or themselves.

Tome Reilly the sales guru opines “ at the core  of motivated behaviour are characteristics, qualities or traits that reflect values. These values shape our attitudes and  our attitudes drive our behaviour. We behave as we believe. Behaviour repeated over time become habits. Value added sales people are people of high character- they inspire trust in other people.

On an individual basis, competency is achieving your objectives. Competencies are a combination of attributes, abilities, knowledge and skills that individuals must  possess to perform effectively.

In the past, a gifted salesperson was one who could “communicate value.” But as products have become more similar, each competitive salesperson delivers essentially the same message. So the new need is for the salesperson who can“create value” by helping the customer make or save more money. Salespeople must move from persuading to consulting. This can take the form of providing technical help, solving a difficult problem for the customer, or even helping the customer change its whole way of doing business.

 

It is true that , we all are sales people in our daily life. We try to communicate and create value  so that, our ideas become acceptable, we become acceptable.
