Selling ability...

Could you sell a 5kg bag of ice to an Eskimo?
Could you sell 1 gallon of milk to a cow?
Could you sell a dozen eggs to a chicken?

I think i just did.

Sometimes, it amazes me of what i am capable of achieving. I dont think that im a fabulous sales person. I dont ever think of myself as a sales person period. But surprisingly, i sold an idea that should have already been in my managers head, and spinned it off as mine.

Well, it was my idea...and i helped him along. I planted the seed, so to speak.

I have a knack for doing things like that. My track record stands at 99% success rate, but its only that high when I sell on behalf of someone else. I think its a karma thing. I'm not good at selling myself. And when i do try to sell, for moi, it just doesnt work out the way i want it to. A shame, i know, but what am i to do?

I cant fight with what nature has given me. Although, i believe selling is a skill that can be acquired over time. Its a matter of being creative when you are putting a positive spin on things. I think my downfall in selling "me", would probably be in the fact that i look at myself pessimistically. While when i am say, selling a friend...i do a fantastic job, because in my mind that person is just rosey! I can only think of the things that make them peachy...so my sales pitch on them is a sure winner.

Now, if this current seed turns into a gorgeous flower in the next 6 months...I will have to think hard about how i will plant another seed to score a big pay increase.
