Did you just wince? When you hear the word "sales," does an image of a used car salesman (kind of like our friend to the right) pop into your head?
I am hearing time and again from newbie entrepreneurs as well as seasoned executives and business owners that they are not comfortable selling.
Some tell me that they feel selling is "cheesy" or "like begging." According to them, good salesmen and saleswomen are too aggressive, inauthentic, and/or even dishonest.
Others say that when it comes right down to it, they are afraid to sell. They are afraid they will be rejected, that folks won't see the value of their product or service, and, as a consequence, they will suffer humiliating blows to their sense of self.
I have a hunch or two as to why this thinking is so common, and I'd like to see where I'm wrong.
Would you give me 2 minutes of your time to fill out a 1-question survey? Seriously, it's one question.
I would like to hear from you as to what your biggest challenge is with selling. In return for your time, I'll send you a report with the results in April. If you would like a copy of the report, simply include your name and email address in the survey. [No worries on being spammed -- I hate it as much as you do.]

My goal is to uncover the hidden (or not-so-hidden) challenges that could be sabotaging your sales success (or marketing and promotional efforts) and then design a program which will help you blast through those challenges so that you may close more business this year than you ever imagined possible.
So give me just 2 minutes now, and let's make 2009 your break-through year.
