Apu, The Ultimate Salesman

So, you have a product and you want to start selling it. Where do you start? How do you sell it to people? You don’t want to end up sounding like a second hand car salesman and you don’t want to pressure people into buying your product because you don’t want the rest of your life to be about that. So how do you go about selling your product?

There has always been something about the selling principles that didn’t sit well with me. Coercing people that they would fail without my product or that my product would change their life just didn’t seem right to me. Who am I, afterall, to prejudge that my product will change someone’s life to that extent?

I am naturally quite competitive but I can say from experience, with zero doubt, that it affects my overall performance and not in a good way.
