Small Business Basics
How does a person get started in business?
The first thing you need to realize is that everyone is selling something. You may not think of yourself as a salesperson, but you are. When you apply for a job, you’re trying to sell that prospective employer on hiring you.
When you answer the employer’s phone, you’re trying to sell that prospective customer or client on using your employer’s services, or buying their product.
The fact is we’re all selling something. You are offering your goods or services, and you want someone to buy them. You may be trying to sell someone on an idea you think will make you a lot of money, or you may simply be trying to sell your kids on eating their vegetables at dinner by telling them Popeye eats spinach.
So the sooner you get used to the idea that you must sell something in order to be in business, the sooner you’ll be on the road to making your dream a reality.
