💼 Sales — It’s Not Just About Money
Sales are part of every person’s life.
And if you think it doesn’t apply to you — sorry to disappoint you.
Every day, we all sell something.
🧒 Real-life Examples
- A school kid “sells” good grades to their parents — and gets pocket money, a trip to camp, or a new gaming PC.
- A man “sells” his emotions and interest to a girl — and gets a chance for a date.
- An adult “sells” their skills to an employer — and receives a salary.
👨💻 Examples from IT and Office Life
- A developer sells an idea for architecture — and gets approval to implement it.
- A designer sells a concept to the client — and gets the green light.
- A team lead sells the team on a new approach or fixing tech debt — and motivates everyone to get on board.
- An analyst sells a hypothesis to the product manager — and gets it into the sprint.
- A founder sells a vision to an investor — and secures funding.
🎯 What Does “Selling” Really Mean?
Sales don’t always mean products or services.
It’s about transferring value to another person.
If you can communicate a message, show the benefits, and persuade — you’ve made a sale.
🧠 Why Is This Important to Realize?
- You’ll improve your argumentation skills.
- You’ll better understand others.
- You’ll become more confident when presenting, pitching, or defending your decisions.
- You’ll consciously sell yourself — in the job market, within your team, in negotiations.
📌 Conclusion
Even if you’re not in direct sales —
you still sell something every day!
The good news:
Sales is a skill. And the sooner you develop it — the more you’ll gain.
Sales are about communication, value, and influence.
Don’t be afraid to sell. Develop this skill! Do it honestly, with value — and everyone wins.
