7 HIDDEN WAYS TO SELL YOUR PRODUCT OR SERVICES
Selling is certainly an art form that requires you to tell compelling stories about the solutions your product or service will have in the life of the consumer. It is by far the most important skill you will ever learn. If you are going for a job interview you need to know how to sell yourself not only to be able to get a job but to get it with the maximum salary possible.

I’m sure we have friends/ relations that sell different kinds of stuff and they must have approached us to buy from them. I don’t know if you’ve been in a situation where friends and family try to force you to buy what they sell, maybe they just open a clothing line and since you’re a nice person you patronize them, wear the clothes, take pictures and if the clothes are of good quality you refer them to your friends. A few months later your friend comes back to you to get other clothes, you might turn that friend down if you are not ready to get another one or you buy from that friend. Well, that’s a good thing to do, supporting friends shows you appreciate them.

Now, imagine you are that friend. You just started a business where you sell different wares. You need to sell your product so you can make a profit but the only people you know are just your friends and family. Don’t get me wrong, selling your product to your family/friend is not bad but they should not be your only hope. Depending on them to buy is not a good business strategy, what you need is to learn and deploy smart selling strategies.

Imagine if that person is your friend you won’t have ignored the person because it would be hard to do that right? You might feel guilty for not buying from your friend.
