I've accomplished a lot in my quest to avoid becoming a better salesperson

I've accomplished a lot in my quest to avoid becoming a better salesperson:

* folded laundry
* updated my LinkedIn profile
* talked to my coach about how I need to sell more
* scrolled LinkedIn
* cleaned the cat's litter box
* watched a webinar
* made another cup of tea
* reworked the wording on a sales page (again)
* put away the dishes
* invented a new project to work on with Claudette

I could go on.

Then I picked up "Buyer First" by Carole Mahoney and started doing all the exercises. Turns out reading a book about selling is slightly more effective than cleaning the litter box. Go figure.

Working on shifting my mindset about selling.
Thanks, Carole. Oh, and also selling. 😂

"We try everything but sales. We avoid becoming better salespeople because of our beliefs about and perceptions of what sales and salespeople are."

What have you done lately to avoid selling?

Image: Kiki judging me, not because I'm not selling, but because I stopped petting him. (Also on the list of things to do instead of selling 😉)

Are you asking people to do the work for you?

I will never tell you that you're broken just so I can sell you something.
