Selling with Authenticity
Selling with authenticity is crucial for success in business. Rather than faking confidence or pretending to be comfortable, it is more effective to acknowledge and express vulnerability. By openly admitting fear and discomfort, salespeople can build trust and connect with potential customers on a deeper level. This genuine approach allows customers to feel good about supporting the salesperson and may even encourage them to make a purchase. Faking confidence or pretending to be someone you're not will ultimately lead to dissatisfaction and a lack of fulfillment.
Being True to Yourself
The key to personal development and growth is not to fix or change oneself, but to embrace and enhance one's true self. Believing that there is something inherently wrong or deficient can be detrimental. Instead, the focus should be on becoming more of who you truly are, to vibrate at the frequency that aligns with your authentic self. By being true to yourself, you can maintain inner harmony and attract positivity in your interactions with others, regardless of their reactions or circumstances.
Fake it 'til you make it is a popular saying, but faking it actually does more harm than good when it comes to selling and to life in general.
In this video, I talk about how being inauthentic will make you fail even when you succeed and explain why telling your audience outright that you're scared of selling will earn you more trust and more conversions than faking confidence ever could.
