THE TOO SALESY PARADOX WHY PROFESSIONAL SERVICE PROVIDERS CANT SELL AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT
| |
| By John Doerr
The distress is obvious. The complaints are frequent. The clear disdain for the activity is surprisingly unfiltered. What are we talking about? Selling, or more specifically, selling professional services.
In conversation after conversation as I work with clients, conduct seminars, or network with my professional colleagues, I hear the same comments:
Selling conflicts with my values as a professional.
Selling gets in the way of building strong relationships.
You have to have it in your genes - like a used car salesman.
I don't sell professional services - I work with my clients to create the best solutions.
People won't respect me as a professional if I am selling to them.
I can't sell to them. What will they think of me?
It (selling) is not what we do around here.

Unfortunately there are too many businesses & organizations promoting short seminars as educational, when there are nothing more than thinly disguised or blatant sales pitches with some not so friendly sales tactics during and after the seminar. A short seminar needs to be very strategic and very ethical in the planning and delivering of these seminars. Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach suggests the following |

A Lesson from a 4-Year-Old
| |

could sing or dance, I fear that we would receive the overwhelming message that the vast

they can sing, and virtually all of them have confidence in their ability to dance.
