  • - So, you're thinking of starting a business,

  • or you're already in business.

  • What is the number one skill

  • that you need in order to be successful?

  • Now, if you look at business,

  • business is actually quite simple.

  • It's simply you're offering a product or service

  • to the marketplace in exchange of money.

  • That's what commerce is all about.

  • Now in order to do that,

  • you need people to be buying from you.

  • And in business, nothing happens until a sale is made.

  • So as an entrepreneur, as a business person,

  • the number one skill that you need

  • is the ability to close sales

  • because companies, businesses, go out of business

  • simply because of lack of revenue, lack of customers.

  • And how are you gonna get customers

  • if you don't know how to close,

  • if you don't know how to sell,

  • if you don't know how to sell

  • your product or service, period?

  • Most entrepreneurs fail because they spend so much time

  • focusing on the thing, focusing on the product,

  • making that perfect.

  • That's all good, but unless and until you have

  • the ability to go out there

  • and sell something in exchange of money,

  • you're not gonna make money.

  • And without money, how are you gonna put money

  • into research and development to make your product better?

  • So a lot of time, I can see this, happens so much,

  • that people think of, oh selling,

  • it's almost like they look down on the word,

  • like oh, these are salespeople.

  • Well, guess what?

  • If you are the janitor of the company, you are in sales.

  • The salesperson, you're in sales.

  • You're in accounting, you're in sales.

  • You're the CEO, you're in sales.

  • Everybody needs to focus on sales,

  • how to bring in revenue.

  • Do things that help bring in revenue,

  • or do things to free up the time

  • of the people who bring in the revenue.

  • It is so, so critical.

  • Product development needs to understand

  • the product is not ego-based.

  • It's not about, "Hey, let's make something cool."

  • It's about solving a problem for customers

  • in the marketplace.

  • When you understand this, sales equals income.

  • My question to you is how much time are you spending

  • on improving your ability to sell,

  • improving your team's ability to sell,

  • particularly your ideas, to communicate your value

  • to the marketplace?

  • Why should people buy from you?

  • Why they should keep buying from you?

  • Can you articulate that?

  • Can you do your 30-second elevator pitch?

  • Can you grab people's attention?

  • That's the key, the number one skill,

  • and you will see a direct relationship.

  • The better you are at sales, the more income you generate,

  • the more successful your business becomes.

  • It is actually that simple.

  • If you wanna learn more about sales,

  • not like the traditional sales techniques and all of that.

  • I'm talking about how to sell, 21st century.
