Strategic Sales: Channelize Your Inner Storyteller To Own A Glorious Sales Career

We humans are all brilliant storytellers. Weaving and telling stories is a part of our daily life. It can be while writing a report, talking about your day to a loved one, or while selling an idea, or just getting away from trouble, we are unparallelly equipped with imagination beyond any comprehension.  

As a professional domain, sales need us to leverage this innate ability to own a successful career. Being the backbone and the highest revenue generator of any and every business, having a sound, competitive, dynamic sales team is the primary need for all organizations. Therefore, experienced and smart sales professionals are always welcomed and respected in any team as they are often capable of single-handedly turning a business around.  

But, 

• To be experienced, you must start somewhere  
• To gain that unique perspective, you need to learn somewhere  
• To become the best of the rest, you need to learn from the best 
• To start, you must first be convinced that you are perfect for sales 

Unlike any other domain, in sales, it’s your confidence and faith in what you are selling that makes all the difference. Showcasing confidence in front of clients leads them to believe you know and understand their needs convincing them to trust your pitch and close the transaction. And developing confidence and convincing skills takes time.   

Having a sense of confidence and the ability to convince without a personal meeting has become all the more important post-COVID. Although people were bored and looked out for ways to keep themselves occupied, they were also presented with innumerable choices for the few things they wanted to indulge themselves in. Standing out in the crowd and making them believe what you are offering them is the best takes perseverance and absolute dedication.   

In recent times, it’s not just about the skills, it’s also about the knowledge of tools and the ability to leverage the same to close a deal. Potential customers today tend to respond well when they get a sense of being cared for. If you know their preference, their needs and reach out to them with personalized messages, they will feel a lot closer and more dependable on you and your brand, making the sales all the easier.  

Contrary to common misconception, sales is not a very easy domain to succeed in. One might easily get into sales but continuing to thrive and succeed in the same way takes an immense amount of patience and dedication.
