While I'm no Grant Cardone and my sales tips and techniques offer something different than the 10x rule, I've unlocked a new code (S-A-L-E-S) for small business owners that will 100x your growth and bring you one step closer to discovering your full potential and purpose. Sales Tip #1 (S): Slap. Just kidding. This may be the fastest way to eliminate all of your sales. Just ask Will Smith. We start things off with SMILE. While it may seem simple, approaching others with kindness and a smile immediately builds trust. How can you close a sale if you are closed off yourself? Sales Tip #2 (A): Be AUTHENTIC. Just be you. The sooner you ditch the influencer marketing strategy and learn to be exactly who you were made to be, the sooner you'll find peace, joy, and real connection with others. Sales Tip #3 (L): LISTEN. Did you hear what I just said? Just checking. Listening communicates care, interest, and confidence that you can put others needs before your own. Sales Tip #4 (E): ECHO. What does this even mean? It's one thing to listen to me now, it's another thing to show that you took everything shared to heart. You can't have one without the other. Sales Tip #5 (S): SERVE. In a self-serving world, be the one who thinks of others before yourself. It may be a hand written note that precedes a proposal or a phone call of appreciation even if you don't get the job. Compassion proves character. Character breeds community. And community gives birth to real relationship and endless opportunity. Unsure if my leadership skills and business ideas actually work? There's only one way to find out. Unlock the code in your own life and respond back with the results.
