I honestly can't remember the last time I recorded a podcast. Oh, you have allergies and are coughing and sneezing? Sure, now sounds like a good time to record. 

SEASON 2 PREMIERE!

Truly Fearless Life, the Podcast

with Ted Fauster

Episode 021 | How to Talk To People & Sell More

Selling is something that freaks out a lot of people. I'm not sure why, although I can tell you I remember a time when I was horrible at it.  Thankfully, one of my sales directors made me take a class taught at the Scottsdale Sandler Institute that really helped me get my head on straight. They taught me to expect 2 things: 

It wasn't until much later that I realized why: I didn't connect with a good chunk of my customers. I mean, yeah, I sold them things, but in many instances it was because they really, REALLY needed my product. (That makes me sound like a drug dealer.) For the record, I was a rep in the semiconductor industry. Lots of cranky engineers, God love 'em. 

Having your own personal brand allows you to decide who you want to work with, the type of customer you actually want to spend time with - and vice versa! When you're able to seek out and form bonds with Your 20%, you take a mountain of pressure off your shoulders. And you start to hear YES a whole lot more!

What is it this time? I can't build a website because I don't know how to code? I can't do a podcast because I hate my own voice? I can't sell because I'm afraid of all the push back I might receive?  I can't start my own personal brand because I'm not an expert in anything. 

You're always going to be able to come up with excuses why you shouldn't do something, especially when it comes to starting your own business. When it comes to your own personal brand, however, what have you really got to lose?
