How good are you at closing the deal? Are you too busy to sell? No one knows your products or services like you do, and probably no one else can bring the passion and enthusiasm to your business that you can. There – we’ve already identified two of the most important qualities of successful salespeople – passion and enthusiasm!
If you don’t consider yourself a salesperson you might need to tweak your sales savvy! Start with these three resources.
Many business owners shy away from asking their customers “Are we going ahead with the order” or “shall I wrap that up for you”. The problem many entrepreneurs face is the fear of asking for the sale. Your customer knows you have something to sell, they expect to be asked. Asking is not pushy, it’s smart. Read this blog for tips on how to close the deal.
Kyla Dufresne has always admired business owners, idolizing them like rock stars. Entrepreneurial by nature, she started early and soon found her calling in the wonderful world of waxing.

Sales performance begins with having a great sales leader. You are the leader of your business whether you operate a one-person consulting firm, a retail store with several staff or a manufacturing business employing many people. These 10 qualities have been identified again and again as essential to successful sales in any business.
