Key Takeaways:

80% of sales is confidence.
Children are good salespeople because they close for no reason.
Anytime you're in a conversation about working with an individual, there's always a sale.
Sales is the essential part of a business that brings in the money.
One of the things that I teach is that you have to like it, love it, or leave it.

" The best way to learn sales that I found is making sure that you have a proper mentor to work with or coach, especially if you haven't done it before or if you have done it not to the point where you've been satisfied. Sales is a skill, so it's better done in an apprentice-type situation where somebody is grading your performance as you do it. Theory, reading a book, watching videos and doing it and performing it doesn't work well because there's no way for you to get the direct feedback that you need to adjust." – BENJAMIN

"We live in a Western civilization where we're trained that your worth and things you want must be earned through your work. You don't negotiate. If you make enough money to negotiate in America, the only thing you know in life is a house and a car. But if you go overseas and go to third-world countries or other places less, their actual mentality or culture is that if you go to a market, an open market in a second or third-world country, there are no prices. Everything is a negotiation. Right? Everything's in the good in some cultures. If you don't negotiate, they will see it as negative. So, I love it when I go overseas, and I go to these places, and at the end of the tour, you'll see the native, the local people selling their arts and crafts at the end, and they're coming at you with the, you know, the pressure for you to buy. You can look and see the Americans because they start to cringe. They're not used to that aggression. But this is how people get things done in their country. We live in an economy where we don't have to deal with that. But we get more inundation through our phones and television, driving down the road. We get hit just like they do. It's just not verbally in our face." - BENJAMIN

"There's no need to fear sales if you understand that sales is a language. It's just like sign language or anything else, and if you can understand that, your life becomes a whole lot easier because you'll know when people are selling you and when you need to buy. And that comes through your personal life as well as your business. By doing that, your confidence level will increase because you now will understand that you need to listen more in a conversation because good salespeople are great listeners. And it is key. So, there are three things I say you need to do when you're a good salesperson: First, you need to know where you're going, which means a good sales process. Number two is that you need to be confident. You have to be able to take rejection. Number three is that you must listen. And you must do all three of those at the same time. Hence the skill of sales. So, some people could do one or two, but you need to do all three. And if you could do all three very well, you could become a great salesperson." – BENJAMIN
