You hate doing Sales?

Picture the pushy car salesperson who breathes down your neck. No one aspires to be that. Is that what sales is to you? It used to be for me ๐Ÿค”.

It’s time to shatter that stereotype โŒ.

The first shift in perspective? Not every call has to culminate in a sale. The pressure is off! This is the beauty of the numbers game – only every ‘x’ number of calls might result in a sale, and that’s perfectly fine ๐Ÿ‘Œ.

With the pressure off, your call morphs into a discovery session. Is your product the right fit for this customer? Engage in a free-flowing conversation, ask questions, and explore whether your product can add value to their life. If not, it’s not the end of the world ๐ŸŒ.

Once a fitting product is identified, customers often present obstacles. They seek validation and assurance. It’s your moment to shine – overcome hurdles by providing information, calculating the ROI, securing manager approvals, or suggesting creative solutions ๐ŸŒˆ.

But what’s the single most crucial factor in sales?

Believe in your product ๐Ÿ’ก.

If you wouldn’t buy it yourself, don’t sell it. Passion and belief in a product can make a world of difference in sales ๐Ÿš€.

How do you perceive sales?

Microsoft Teams: Too Many Apps in One? All-in-one apps like Teams? Thatโ€™s a hard pass from me. Microsoft Teams wants to be the one app to rule them all. But Iโ€™m the guy who likes my apps separate, like LEGO bricksโ€”not superglued together. I open my To-Do app...

Abstract the abstraction ๐Ÿคฏ. .NET devs, we love our patterns... maybe too much. For a simple CRUD app, I've seen: Repositories โ€“ because obviously we can't query directly, that's too mainstream UnitOfWork โ€“ like transactions, but now with extra ceremony Services โ€“...
