Default Re: Selling with your inner child... :)

Dien - I experienced first hand the selling abilities of kids this weekend. I was in Dallas in an unfamiliar neighborhood, when I rounded the corner and was literally waved down by two cute little girls selling lemonade.

Forget about not talking to strangers - they utterly convinced me I needed a glass in the 100 degree heat and that the price was cheap. How?

By their sincerity, fearlessness and (of course)the fact that they were 10 years old and entrepreneurs! I bought two glasses and gave them a tip to encourage them on their venture. Both their words and looks conveyed geniune pride and appreciation.

Maybe we do need to step back from our sophisticated selling methods, believe in our products/services absolutely, sincerely believe that all prospects need/want our products, and be appreciative of all sales.

Anyway, from the sales techniques of babes!

Regards, Bob
