A lot of people associate selling with being a “used car salesman” and don’t want others to think of them that way. The last thing you want is for people to think you are a pushy, aggressive “salesperson”, so to stop people thinking of you that way you simply avoid and resist selling, right? Not a good idea, if you want clients!

It’s definitely true that there are a lot of stereotyped salespeople out there. It is true that some can be pushy, manipulative aggressive, etc. What is also true is that there are a lot of open, honest, authentic salespeople too. These are the truly successful salespeople, and their track records prove it.

Acknowledge that you are not a stereotypical salesperson. Acknowledge that you are an open, honest, authentic person. Know that you if you are open, honest and “yourself” when selling, you will be more successful. Be yourself and you will start to feel a lot more relaxed and less stressed about selling.
