Recommendation
Cindy McGovern, the self-described “First Lady of Sales,” says that no matter what your job may be, everyone sells all the time. Everybody needs essential sales skills, which McGovern sets out in a handy, five-part sales formula even non-salespeople can follow. She helps you sell better, which means getting people to do what you want them to do. Though salespeople will benefit from her advice, she aims it at those who don’t get paid to sell but must sell anyway to succeed in their job or daily life.

1 year agoLife is sales, our work and life are full of sales opportunities. First of all, we need to plan. Second, we need to find opportunities and pay close attention to everything around us in order to gain something. Third, life is like a transaction, you need to build respect and trust, speak in good faith, listen carefully, and pay attention to words and deeds. Fourth, you need to be good at expressing yourself, being good at digging, proposing your own needs, and don't be afraid of being rejected. Be grateful, even if there is no good result at the moment, you should continue to maintain a good relationship with them. It is never wrong to be friendly.
