Recognizing Your Sales Role

Many people often struggle to identify themselves as salespeople, despite the various roles they hold which inherently involve sales skills. Whether one is an author, speaker, or even a parent, everyone engages in sales transactions daily, whether subtly negotiating or promoting ideas. This innate ability to sell is often diminished over time due to experiences such as rejection or societal expectations, leading individuals to disassociate from the notion of being a salesperson. Acknowledging that everyone is involved in sales, regardless of their title, can empower individuals to embrace this aspect more confidently in both personal and professional settings.
