Sales Requires the Right Kind of Attitude, and Effort

Steve Strauss:

The thing to remember is that, the way I figure it, we are all in sales, in one way or another (though I certainly am no sales guru). Whether you are the photographer trying to get someone to hire you for the Bat Mitzvah, the chef who wants to cater the event, or the DJ who wants to work it, your ability to move forward with your business depends on getting people to pay you for what you love to do. That, my friends, is called sales.

Here, then, are some sales tips that should hopefully help:

• Sincere enthusiasm works wonders
• Be pushy
• Listen for cues
• It’s not selling, it’s helping
• Patience is a virtue
• Go for the gold
• Look for the tipping point
