Proses Menjual; Salesman itu Penting

"……kemarin pagi-pagi sekali sengaja saya jalan-jalan dengan anak saya, di tengah jalan ketemu dengan seorang penjual lampu “teplok” yang cara menyalakannya pakai sumbu dan minyak tanah…pikir saya, hari gini jualan gitu apa ya laku ya…wong jaman sudah maju semua pakai listrik…dalam hati. Waktu saya lewat tempat itu lagi, …gila men, pedagangnya sedang dirubung sama pembeli setelah saya selidiki gara-gara banjir, tempat itu sudah 3 hari listriknya mati sehingga sangat membutuhkan alat itu......"

Dari cerita diatas, profesi menjual sangat dibutuhkan masyarakat, terkadang kalau kita datang ke sebuah instansi atau komunitas dianggap sebagai makhluk pengganggu sehingga belum sempat kita minta ijin presentasi sudah diusir, biasanya kalau kita tidak buat janji dulu. Kemampuan negosiasi dan melihat situasi, menjadi penting disini.

The Downside of Success

At The Top You Must Deal with Expectations

In our culture we tend to glamorize success, especially when it's hard-earned or beats the odds: individuals who succeed despite great obstacles; people who profit from courageous business ventures; those who rise to fame because they persevere; and some whose great talents become recognized. We also celebrate those who lived through traumatic circumstances that have, in some cases, taken the lives of others. There are also less visible but significant successes, relative to the achievements of others, such as maintaining a profitable business when competitors are failing, keeping your job when your colleagues are laid off, or having a pleasurable and secure connection with someone when your friends are lonely and unattached. In any case, there can be a price that comes with success.
