			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The secret of being successful in selling is the ability to transmit  your energy and your enthusiasm about your product or service.

<li> Get lucky more often by focusing your activities (in your search for new customers)</li>
<li> Handle the situation like a pro if you get the cold shoulder (No Means No – or does it?)</li>
<li> Master the art of “You Show me Yours and I’ll Show You Mine” (Presentation and Negotiation)</li>
<li> Seal it with a kiss (The Art of Closing)</li>
<li> Deal with the morning-after (Post-Selling Activities)</li>

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.</p>
<p>In my <a title="10 Reasons Why Selling IS Better Than Sex" href="http://www.alenmajer.com/2010/07/10-reasons-why-selling-is-better-than-sex/" target="_blank">previous post</a> I gave you 10 reasons why why I believe selling is even better than sex.</p>
<p>Here are 10 more reasons:</p>
<ol>
<li>With sales it matters not how young or how old you are – you can always find a fresh prospect – and they’re generally not interested in your age. They’re really only concerned about your expertise.</li>
<li>With selling you always know how good you are. The proof is in the purchase of the  product that you’re selling.</li>
<li>A customer doesn&#8217;t get jealous when you get a new one. Actually, you  look weird if you don&#8217;t have any customer at all. Being single is not  good.</li>
<li>If you’re having trouble with selling and you’re not feeling as confident as you should be, it is perfectly acceptable to pay a professional to show you how you can improve on your technique.</li>
<li>Managing large numbers of sales or co-coordinating a group of  salespeople makes you neither a pimp nor a prostitute.</li>
<li>You can keep your socks on during selling (or prospecting).</li>
<li>Finding customers on the internet isn&#8217;t illegal.</li>
<li>You can do sales by the book and you can choose the book (or DVD).</li>
<li>Selling publicly won’t get you arrested.</li>
<li>You can sell even in a moving vehicle and not be apprehended for  breaking the law.</li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>

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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>In this post I will give you 10 reasons why I believe selling is even better than sex:</p>
<ol>
<li>You are never too young or too old to sell. And just because you may be over 65, you don’t have to rely on those little blue pills to help you make a sale.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>When it comes to selling on an airplane or just chatting to a prospective client in the seat next to you, you’ll realize that it’s so much easier than trying to sneak into the bathroom for a quickie in order to join the “mile-high club”.</li>
<li>You don’t have to fear retribution for showing the proof to back up your claims of success and achievement. On the contrary, your prospective clients will want to see that. And the more sales history you have, the better! Your prospects may be very keen to see who you have listed as your previously satisfied clients.</li>
<li>If your customers decide to take photos or film you while you’re making your pitch, you don’t have to worry about those pictures or videos showing up on the internet when you become famous.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>It’s possible to close with a customer in two minutes or less and it’s actually something to be proud of.</li>
<li>You can be absolutely certain that nine months after a sales meeting, the customer’s lawyers won’t contact you asking for half of your pre-tax income for the next eighteen years.</li>
<li>You can invite your previous, current and potential customers to come together in a same room – it is called a “Customer Appreciation Day”.</li>
<li>If you’re practicing your presentation at night in the comfort of your own home, you don’t have to be concerned about keeping your neighbors awake.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.<br />
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.</p>
<p><strong>For a start, it’s okay to make a sale in public.</strong><br />
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.</p>
<p>This brings us to the next point: that <strong>it is perfectly legal to sell professionally. </strong>The Ten Commandments don’t say anything about not selling. Yes, one of the commandments is <em>“Thou shalt not commit adultery”</em>, but Moses did not climb Mount Sinai to receive the instruction <em>“Thou shalt not sell”</em>. On the contrary, selling, bartering and trading were an essential source of income for many families, even in Moses’ time.<br />
Nor is selling listed as one of the seven cardinal sins and <strong>the Pope makes no mention about the hazards of selling prior to marriage.</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>A positive attitude reaps rewards. It was Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company, who said:</p>
<p><em>“If you think you can do a thing or you think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.”</em></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>You have the freedom to SELL! </strong>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.</p>
<p>If you want to learn how to transfer the sex energy into sales enthusiasm to improve your career and life, and learn about other 200 reasons why selling is even better than sex, get my book <em>&#8220;Selling Is Better Than Sex&#8221;</em> today! <a title="Selling Is Better Than Sex - official website" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.sellingisbetter.com');" href="http://www.sellingisbetter.com/" target="_blank">www.SellingIsBetter.com</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">&#8220;When I first read about the wacky book title <em><strong>“Selling Is Better Than Sex”</strong></em>, I could not resist the temptation of arranging my copy. Alen Majer’s latest book is loaded with sales lessons, tips, tactics and golden nuggets of advice. The comparison of Selling with Sex, though, makes the book title weird, bizarre, far-out and one of its own kind, yet it contains extremely interesting and absorbing stuff on Selling. Alen has successfully taught the art and science of selling in a very humorous and hilarious manner.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">The book starts with Napoleon Hills’ (of Think &amp; Grow Rich fame) theory of Transmutation of Sex Energy and then it boldly and blatantly goes on to prove that there are around 200 ways that suggest <em><strong>Selling Is Better Than Sex</strong></em>. Sometimes, it made me burst into laughter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Selling is actually transference of enthusiasm and thrill. Book teaches you how to get thrill out of selling. If you can learn to transfer energy that you have for the pleasure of sex and transmit that into your sales efforts, the rewards will be phenomenal is crux of <em><strong>Selling IS Better Than Sex</strong></em>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">The book talks about almost every aspect of the discipline of Selling, be it prospecting, customer retention, customer services, going the extra mile, follow ups, closing techniques and prioritization (Pareto’s law of 80:20).</span></div>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Learning multiplies with fun, Alen’s book proves it. It is simply unputdownable and highly recommended! Book is available at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Selling-Better-Than-Alen-Majer/dp/0978466853/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1263049313&amp;sr=8-1">Amazon</a>.&#8221;</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>Besides, <strong>selling is legal and widely practiced in every corner of the globe.</strong> 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.</p>
<p>And you get to do it with people of the same sex. In fact, <strong>you can sell to anyone regardless of race, sex or marital status!</strong> 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.</p>
<p>Selling is such a widely accepted form of doing business that it’s acceptable for you <strong>to even offer your product to a nun.</strong> 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. <strong>Your priest won’t get into trouble for having a meeting with you after church.</strong> A little sales rendezvous. It’s a fact! Priests aren’t sworn to give up selling!</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>It is perfectly acceptable to sell something to a complete stranger.</strong> You can safely walk up to someone previously unknown to you and simply say,</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>“Hi! I have something really special that I’d like to show you.” </em></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>What’s more, <strong>you’re able to proclaim your love for selling freely.</strong> 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.</p>
<p><strong>Managing large numbers of sales or co-coordinating a group of salespeople makes you neither a pimp nor a prostitute.</strong> 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!</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">About the Book:</span></p>
<p>In <em>Selling is Better than Sex,</em> Alen Majer takes you through the essentials of successful selling with a humorous twist; illustrating that business can be fun and should be fun. It will help you realize that selling is more than just a 9 to 5 job. This book will provide you with more than 200 reasons why selling is even better than sex, and what you can do about it in order to improve your career and your life. This is not just another sales book – this is a revelation!</p>
