#015: The Importance Of Sales

Treps Journey

Description:

“Sales is not a bad thing to focus on. Sales shouldn’t be a way to get people to do something that they shouldn’t be doing. You should have a product that you’re proud of, that you have a lot of passion for, and be providing value to people; and sales is just your way to get them over the mental roadblock to taking action.” – Jared Paul

Sales can sometimes be viewed with a negative connotation. Not many people want to be called a “salesperson.” But sales is one of the most important parts of any business, and a skill that can help accelerate your success.

In this episode, the guys talk about some sales ideas Ben is considering with his new platform. They talk about some tactics, and strategy around pre-selling a product.

Tune in for a lively discussion on one of the most important skills for any businessperson.
