You’re a sales genius. They love you; they trust you; and some of them keep on coming back for more. However, you can very suddenly go from Hero to Zero if you don’t keep your sales figures up to scratch. As a sales genius, you’ll be working hard to have deals lined up for weeks in advance so that you’re not enslaved by what has been referred to as “the Curse of a Sales Job”.

Working month to month, just treading water in the hopes of staying afloat, does not make you a super-sales-hero. You need to plan ahead – take the long-term view and line up those deals to ensure you maintain your status. This is what makes you great – and able to achieve your fullest potential. Again, this is hard work and dedication – but it is fuelled by your passion for selling and your dream to achieve all that you can.

You must realize that customers are available for everyone, at any time and at any age. Not so when it comes to sex, right? No – even with a reputation as a serial womanizer, you can go for weeks or even months at a time without having a beautiful woman to accompany you to social gatherings. That’s the quickest way to dissolve your reputation! But the beauty of sales is that there will always be someone who needs something that you’ve got – you just need to find them and approach the sale in an appropriate way, depending on their needs.

And, with selling, buying leads is also a legitimate way to generate sales – it’s not against the law, either. So when you find that you’re scraping the bottom of the barrel in terms of customers and your pipeline is running dry, you can absolutely purchase a list of leads. However, when your sex life is becoming somewhat dull, or non-existent, paying for a “lead” is not exactly the way you want to go (nor is it legal – in most countries, anyway).

Cruising the internet in search of customers is perfectly acceptable too. You won’t find yourself in any moral or ethical dilemma when paying for leads. And you won’t get fired for typing “selling techniques” into a search engine at work. But wait and see what happens when you’re caught surfing the net for tips on “how to please…”

With all the technology that we have available to us today, the act of “cold-calling” is just about becoming a thing of the past. You can access so much information about a client before you even get to the first meeting. As a result, you will be better prepared than if you had just picked up the phone and dialed a random number in the hopes of charming yourself into another sale. With as much “pre-knowledge” of the customer as possible, you’re equipped to ask all of the right questions, and you’re able to listen to the client’s needs with a greater understanding.

If you’ve carried out your research thoroughly, half of the work is done. It can no longer be termed a “cold call” when you’re already warming up to the client and the operations of his business. Rather, you have the upper hand as you begin the call, knowing more about your client than he does about you. This means that you’re better prepared to approach him in an effective manner and better prepared to address the type of business that he has and the problems he might be encountering.

And besides, you don’t have to dial a “900” number to sell over the phone. If you want customers from faraway places, it’s not that difficult and not that expensive either. You just pick up the phone, send an e-mail, and use any modern technology that you have on hand. But try finding your dream woman from some faraway exotic place – you’ll pay a fortune in travelling costs and accommodation, and that’s before you’ve even taken her out to dinner.

Yet again we can prove that selling is better than sex – and far less risky too. Finding new customers won’t get you into trouble either. You can have as many customers as you want, and as many as you can handle!

In sales you’ll always know where you stand. No longer do you have to torment yourself with the question of your performance. At the end of the day, your sales figures will be the yardstick that indicates how well you’ve done in selling. You’ll always know how your performance was for that day, for each and every customer. The proof is in the purchase of the product that you’re selling.

No-one can fake a purchase or lie to you about how great your pitch was. Customers aren’t concerned with stroking your ego just to pacify you so that they can make a quick escape. If you’re great at what you do, they buy your product. It’s as simple as that. And if you’ve really impressed them, they’ll keep coming back for more. And they’ll tell their family and friends about you and refer them to you for your excellent service.

That’s essentially what they talk about – how great you are at performing in the sales arena. They don’t care what kind of physical shape you’re in either. They don’t sit around and chat about your physique or snigger about your six-pack that’s been left abandoned for years. In fact, most of the best sales guys are usually out of shape. You don’t have to concern yourself with sweating it out at the gym.

As a successful sales guru, you’ve got the customers coming in already, in droves. Because you don’t have to be concerned about your fitness in order to be a brilliant salesperson, you don’t have to feel embarrassed by selling with the lights on! In fact, if you turned the lights off, most of your clients might start feeling a little concerned about their own safety and well being. Leave the lights on; forget about the gym; in sales you can be a success regardless of what shape you’re in.

As well, what makes all of this a lot easier is that a new sales job comes with an instruction manual – complete with graphs and pictures and everything that you might need to come to grips with the basics. Imagine how easy some things in life would be if everything came with a manual? Sure, some of us are blessed with a natural charm and an outgoing and vivacious personality (among other things), but there are still things to learn.

There aren’t too many of us that can be really successful without further enhancing our education. It’s not like a few tips from your Dad are all that you need to make a good go of it. No – we start with the manual and we progress from there to more extensive, specialized courses in skill and technique. And then it still takes practice to perfect the technique. At least, with selling, you don’t earn yourself a reputation for being promiscuous when you expose your sales pitch to a wide variety of customers.

Let’s face the facts here – as a salesperson you don’t have to pussy-foot around your clients and question them in subtle, tactful ways to find out if you were any good. If you were good, they bought your product. Your massive sales figures at the end of each day will show the world what a sensation you are, a market leader in your field. You have the magic touch – you know it and you can prove it!

The world’s oldest profession involves selling. One might even argue about which came first – the selling or the sex? In fact, selling and sex are so closely related that succeeding at either one of them can be euphoric, addictive, and good fun.
Some people might like to argue that selling is not better than sex. They believe it’s the other way round. In this post (and other following this one) I will give you many different reasons why selling IS better than sex.

For a start, it’s okay to make a sale in public.
In fact, the more people that witness the sale you’re making and the product you’re providing, the better! Also, when they see first-hand the customer’s satisfaction at having had an excellent sales experience, it inspires them to think about making their own purchase. This leads to word-of-mouth referrals where you earn a reputation for being the best at what you do. You become known as the expert in your line of work. But sex in public? Well, that may just get you into a lot of trouble. And let’s face it – a reputation for being promiscuous is perhaps not the way you want to go.

This brings us to the next point: that it is perfectly legal to sell professionally. The Ten Commandments don’t say anything about not selling. Yes, one of the commandments is “Thou shalt not commit adultery”, but Moses did not climb Mount Sinai to receive the instruction “Thou shalt not sell”. On the contrary, selling, bartering and trading were an essential source of income for many families, even in Moses’ time.
Nor is selling listed as one of the seven cardinal sins and the Pope makes no mention about the hazards of selling prior to marriage.

With a humorous twist, my posts will take you through the essentials of successful selling, illustrating that business can be fun and should be fun. Love what you do and do what you love. It’s about passion…it’s about creating the pathway for your own success and doing it with enthusiasm and zeal. Anyone who wakes up in the morning with passion in their heart will bound out of bed ready and eager to face the challenges of the day.

A positive attitude reaps rewards. It was Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company, who said:

“If you think you can do a thing or you think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.”

A positive attitude is the fuel that will drive your ability to achieve the tasks you undertake. Adopting an expectation of excellence and achievement is the first step to being successful at what you do.

You have the freedom to SELL! You can sell as much as you like, to whomever you like, for whatever the acceptable rate is, without exploiting yourself or bringing shame to your family name! Yes, selling IS definitely better than sex. And we’ll examine the reasons why more closely right here on this blog.

Sales Trainer & Author of The Craft of Selling “YOURSELF”

It is perfectly socially and morally acceptable to sell to both men and women. No-one is going to question your taste or your moral fiber. You get to spend time with both men and women alike without even questioning your own integrity. You don’t have to choose whether you want to sell to either men or to women – based on your own personal preferences. It’s just part of the job and it’s absolutely, unquestionably appropriate to sell to both sexes.

Besides, selling is legal and widely practiced in every corner of the globe. There are few rules that affect your performance or your ability to sell. Selling is a lifestyle, one that can bring you immense pleasure. And it’s something you can do wherever you are, however you’re feeling, and no matter how old you become. It’s an ageless occupation that doesn’t rely on physical performance and won’t adversely affect your blood pressure due to over-exertion. Stress is only induced in sales when you UNDER-perform, not when you do it too much. They say that too much of a good thing is bad. But whoever heard of making too many sales? No, it’s a calling, a vocation, a livelihood that becomes part of who you are and what you do and how you do it.

And you get to do it with people of the same sex. In fact, you can sell to anyone regardless of race, sex or marital status! You don’t have to worry about what your friends or folks will say when they see you with your clients. You don’t have to sneak around for fear of their disapproval of your client’s appearance or personal preference about anything. You don’t have to check for a wedding band or make sure that the person you’re chatting with is, in fact, a real woman or man. It matters not. You’re a salesperson and you have no qualms when it comes to creed, gender or color. It also doesn’t matter what line of work the customer is in.

Selling is such a widely accepted form of doing business that it’s acceptable for you to even offer your product to a nun. That’s right. You can just swagger right on up to her and show her your product without offending her or causing her to run away. Even the clergy aren’t forbidden from spending time with you. Your priest won’t get into trouble for having a meeting with you after church. A little sales rendezvous. It’s a fact! Priests aren’t sworn to give up selling!

Another great aspect of selling (regardless of whether it’s to a man or a woman) is that you don’t even have to spend time getting to know the client personally. You’re not obliged to wine and dine your customer in a bid to get to know them better. There’s really no need to hear about their past history, where they grew up, where they went to school, what they do for a living, or what their medical history is. You don’t have to ask those questions.

It is perfectly acceptable to sell something to a complete stranger. You can safely walk up to someone previously unknown to you and simply say,

“Hi! I have something really special that I’d like to show you.”

In a different context this could earn you a slap in the face. But in the context of selling, you’re pretty safe, unless you can see that the potential customer has absolutely no interest in buying whatsoever.

What’s more, you’re able to proclaim your love for selling freely. You can shout it from the mountain tops and not fear any retribution. You can proclaim your passion and ability to sell successfully to both men and women, black and white, young and old, and not fear getting dragged out into the street and publicly flogged.

Managing large numbers of sales or co-coordinating a group of salespeople makes you neither a pimp nor a prostitute. Sitting around the family dinner table discussing the antics of your various clients will also not be met with uncomfortable silences or disapproving glares. In fact, in this culturally rich and diverse world that we live in, it is expected that you would have an array of clients from many different backgrounds, and you might even serve them on a regular basis. You cannot be branded as being bi-sexual for selling to both men and women and you can’t even boast about it. It’s pretty much the accepted norm that you’ll flaunt your product to whoever comes your way, regardless of gender or who they are or what they do. You bat for both teams and that is perfectly okay, by everyone’s standards!

Official Apex Reviews Rating:

“Over the years, sex has been compared to many different things - but the act of selling isn’t one that readily comes to mind. Throughout the pages of Selling Is Better Than Sex, though, author Alen Majer provides the reader with ample convincing parallels between the art of lovemaking and the act of closing a deal.

Essentially, Majer emphasizes that the success or failure of each practice is directly related to the level of energy that you contribute to them; in other words, the greater the enthusiasm, the more “fruitful” the experience will be. Furthermore, passion is key in either case: loving what you do while you do it ensures that you’ll reap greater rewards once the deed is done.

Naturally, one may suspect that Majer’s topic of choice would open the door to raunchy, lewd references or toilet humor, but he presents his case in quite the compelling - and tasteful - fashion, in so doing providing the reader with a refreshing, original take on how to achieve greater success in the business world.

With a plethora of insightful advice and practical examples, Selling Is Better Than Sex is a must-read for businessmen and women worldwide. A pleasantly enjoyable literary treat.”

Today I would like to present to my readers an amazing and inspirational book written by my dear colleague Sharon Drew Morgen: “Dirty Little Secrets - why buyers can’t buy and sellers can’t sell and what you can do about it.”

What’s stopping us from closing the sales we should be closing? What’s causing us to lose prospects that need our solution? Why is the sales cycle so long? Why do we close less than 10% of our prospects?

Morgen contends it’s the sales model itself. In this disturbing, insightful book, Morgen introduces us to the behind-the-scenes world of the buyer: the culture, the system, the decisions, and the change management issues that need to be addressed before buyers can buy. The sales model has never taught us how to manage these off-line issues, and so we sit and wait until buyers do this on their own.

Now, in Dirty Little Secrets, we discover what’s going on and how we can help. Caution: if you are not ready to add some new skills or new thinking to what you’re already doing, this book is not for you. But if you are a serious student of sales, and want to find more prospects and close faster, this book is a wonderful guide through change management and decision making. After you’ve read the book, you’ll know exactly what is going on in your buyer’s environment and how to help them.

If your prospect does not see the value in your product or service, and if the only difference between you and the competitors is in pricing, you didn’t do a good job as a sales person. Your customers are tired of salespeople who come in and are unable to address real business needs, but talk about their company and the hottest feature, or unique one that nobody else has. There are many dimensions that you are selling, and price is only one of them.
