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.

Selling conflicts with my values as a professional.
Selling gets in the way of building strong relationships.

I don't sell professional services - I work with my clients to create the best solutions.

I can't sell to them. What will they think of me?
It (selling) is not what we do around here.
