We are all in sales!

When you think about your job or your business, each one of us is in sales in someway or another.  We had to sell ourselves in order to get the job if we work for someone.  We had to sell our thoughts for buildng a business to investors or people that are buying our product or service.  To develop new friends at work or outside the workplace, you have to sell yourself to these new people.  You have to prove to them that your friendship is worthy of them to have.

Networking is only one aspect of sales.  The principles of Boomerang Business Success, Boomerang Sales and Boomerang Networking take the basic principles of listening, asking questions and giving, giving and giving unconditionally to a new level to make sales so much easier.

I once gave a presentation for the IAAP, and these Administrative Assistants did not know how “networking” would fit into the picture.  Let’s say that you work with the VP of Advertising.  She needs a report from the VP of HR by Friday.  If you do not know the Admin that works with the VP of HR, you may not get the report on time.  But if you network with the people in your company, and help them achieve goals and make connections, when you need that report ASAP, your request moves up the line.

We are all in sales - so we each need to listen, ask questions and give unconditionally to become better sales people, but more importantly, better friends.
