However, the sales or exchange is the oldest. It is as old as the humankind. Because of it, the quality of life of homo sapiens exceeded all other species and has been continuously building our civilization to greater heights.

Sales is a skill, an art, a play and life. It has its rules, it is a source of pleasure and a source of gain for both, the buyer and the seller. It requires enthusiasm, ethical approach and understanding of human behaviour. It offers a better, more fulfilled and more meaningful life. You can not avoid being engaged in sales – its rules apply not only if you are selling products, services or ideas, but also when you are trying to give or gain something, or when you are trying to convince someone to do something.

What is the purpose of this blog?

Sometimes, it is just one story, one idea, or a different perspective that can help us improve on either personal or professional level. This is exactly the purpose of this blog – to share knowledge and experience related to sales which will help you improve on different levels.

What are we aspiring to achieve? We are aspiring to perfection.

However, the perfection does not exist. There is always a possibility to do something better. It exists only as an idea, a goal towards which we strive, but which we can never achieve. It is more like a guiding star.

The Perfect Seller Should Possess the Following Qualities:

Communication Skills of a Journalist,

Enthusiasm of a Child,

Tact of a Diplomat,

Eloquence of a Priest,

The Courtesy of a King,

Discretion of an Advocate,

Compassion of a Nun,

Entrepreneurial Spirit of a Pioneer,

Sagacity of a Hiking Guide,

Curiosity of a Researcher,

Endurance of a Marathon Runner,

Optimism of a Gambler,

Appearance and Manners of a Gentleman,

Patience of a Japanese Zen-Buddhist.

Some of these qualities you already possess, and some of them you might wish to possess or develop further. Whatever the case, if you print out this list and put it on your wall, every day you will be challenged to develop one of the qualities of “the perfect seller”. The information you receive does not give you the power. The power you get once you try to do something with the received information.
