Being an entrepreneur, the avoidance of selling something is inevitable. Everyone should have some type of selling skill ambition within them. If you sell enough of what you've created or the services you are being utilized then, you're winning. In every job I've had, I've had to sell something whether it be food, a dream, clothes, products, etc. As a kid, I was able to convince others to go along with my plans. For example, I will give you $.50, if you give me $1.00.

INSTANT MBA: An Entrepreneur Is Also A Winning Salesperson
An entrepreneur has to be a winning salesperson. They have to be able to market and sell their products and services better than anyone in the company. Entrepreneurs have to be a great leader for their company and great leaders truly value community, meaning they don't just focus on results, but that they also recognize how important it is for people to feel connected and have fun. Many leaders are feared by their co-workers, because they focus more on what wrong and not about what is right.

INSTANT MBA: An Entrepreneur Is Also A Winning Salesperson
This article makes total sense and believe it relates very well to today business environment. Sales people is what entrepreneur's are made of. For example, if my boss wasn't able to sell chicken, our business would have failed. If my co-manager couldn't sell chicken, our business would have failed. These people bring in people through coupons, special events, catering orders, etc. They are what keeps our business go round. A business without sales people will not last long because you will sell nothing and make zero profits.

I think the article is a good one that makes a lot of sense. A good entrepreneur needs to also be a good salesperson. They must sell their business to everyone around. Sale Skills are skills that are very valuable in any field. It doesn't matter if you are selling an idea or a product, it is important to have the right set of sills to make people believe in you and what you are saying. These skills are ones that can be learned through experience. Entrepreneurs need to remember just how important it is to build those sales skills and to use them every chance they get.

I agree with this article because being a good salesperson doesn't mean you have to be selling anything. You can sell people your ideas or be able to explain the complexities of your ideas by being a good salesperson. Everyone needs to possess good customer service skills to be successful in my opinion and being a good salesperson develops from having those skills.

This relates to the book I read for class. Everyone is a salesperson, but entrepreneurs have to be the best at it. They have to move people into buying what they are selling. That is their life and if they do not sell they don’t make any money. If you do not have to ability to sell you should not be an entrepreneur. The ones who are good at selling, are very good.
