Small business owners,
whether they are artists,
accountants,
or
widget makers,
are salespeople.
They represent their businesses.
They sell their products.
They deal with customers.
Whenever someone talks to me
about starting their own business,
I advise they first
take a sales class
or volunteer in a sales position
or work in sales for someone else.

“I wish someone had warned me
that “small business owner”
is the same thing
as “salesperson.”
I would have gotten
professional sales training
much, much sooner!
It would have helped me
figure out
what I was offering,
how I was offering it,
how to overcome common objections,
and to be more confident
about my rates/fees.”
If you’re a small business owner,
you must learn how to sell.
No buts
No excuses.
You must learn how to sell.
