So many people hear and see the word SALES as a dirty word
Automatically associating it with a sleazy, salesy, used car Salesman
They are not wrong!!
Sales has fallen away from what it's truly meant to be
Into a transactional, selfish, and commission based interaction
Where salespeople are more concerned with what they have to say than you
But sales is NOT meant to be that way
It is meant to be about...
Sales is also not just a part of business, it is a part of everyday life
I'll prove it to you
My 4 yr old daughter, A, asks me all the time if she can take her little brother to playgroup first before I take her
Most of the time, unless I am driving (I usually walk) it is too hard
The reason is, that she complains about her feet hurting the whole way to her place
Remember that for later
Today I gave in
We took her brother, and on the way home we stopped at the pharmacy
We had to wait our turn, and while we did, A and I interacted
She was looking around at the different things and we were speaking about them
While standing at the register I had her in fits of laughter, while pretending her neck was the credit card swiper to pay
We left, and I decided to stop at the bakery to pick up some rolls I knew my wife would want to pick up later
As well as one or 2 things for the Mrs., and a cheese danish for me
While there she says "Can I have a chocolate rugelach?"
I think she didn't see me buy it for her, but I gave it to her once we stepped out of the store
She was so happy and she practically skipped her way to playgroup
On the way, I tell her that I am so happy she behaved so nicely
To which she says lol
"See I didn't kvetch (complain) about my feet"
We get to her place, which by the way on Thursdays is her regular teachers’ day off
(usually, she gets all clingy and won't let me go)
Today...a drop of laughing as she finishes her treat, and off she goes
There is a lot of "sales" going on in this story
