A lot of people have a Fear of Selling. It has become a huge challenge and obstacle for them from day to day. If you are guilty of this then you may want to assess the cause. The first thing you need to do is find out exactly what it is you’re afraid of. Are you afraid of success? Believe it or not there this is an actual fear of some folks. Are you afraid of failure or rejection? Do you fear being perceived as being pushy? Do you fear that your product may not meet the expectations of your customer? You can’t come up with a solution if you don’t know what the problem is. Ackonowledging that there is a problem and knowing what is is teh major step in resolving this fear.

There’s a huge misconception in selling through voice braodcasting being that you think you’re imposing on customers. As long as you feel as though you’re imposing…you are. You need to love your product and feel as though you are offering a service. You’re filling a need. Unless you feel and think that your product is teh best one there is you cannot convince or convey this to your customers.

People are natural-born sellers. We just don’t realize it when we’re not making money from it. Let’s say you go to a movie that you loved and you have a friend that you know would enjoy it too. Wouldn’t you recommend it to him/her? Or you have eated in a restaurant that you thought was splendid in their service and the food they prepare. Wouldn’t you just recommend this to all your friends or anyone that is within your circle?

So why is it that as soon as we go into sales we automatically feel as though we can’t recommend the products we sell. Why is it that we tend to feel guilty because we’re going to make a profit off of it?

If you are one that has a fear of selling, take some time today to figure out the cause of your fear, and take action to fix it!
