new business: lesson 1 - be curious - I think ?

8.09.2006 | Toothless Tiger

Lately I have been getting into the “salesperson” mode. Pushing and Pulling the best I can. getting more customers for Toothless Tiger

and so far, it has payed off. I have gotten a lot of contacts and meetings with potential clients, and I guess it is the first way to go…

completely old school - but hey ” I am knockin’ down doors all day long”…

and I don’t even see myself as a salesperson. I am a networker. I am a talker. but a seller ? NOO!

my approach has been to ” be curious”. it has resulted in a lot of feedback and knowledge from persons within the organisations whether they are interested or not.

and I actually like this kind of contact.

the best part is, that I have no real education in sales. I am just doing what seems right for me.

im being curious. asking questions, researching and showing interest.

and I am interested !

so is curiousity the way forward ? - I don’t know. But I’ll try so far.

when it stops working, I will try something else.
