My slogan comes from my belief that Sales is about engagement and
influence. Whether I am working with you to sell my product, or I am
a candidate for a job, selling is the act of influencing decisions.
We engage people everyday. In that engagement we are influencing
decisions through information. This is sales. Every time someone
says; “Yes” Martin, let's do this, or we agree with you or “Yes” we
agree with those terms, your have sold them. Every time they say
“No” we won't accept those terms or we don't agree with you Martin,
you've failed at selling them. Regardless, in either of the
situations, you were selling.

Convincing a friend to see a movie you love is selling. Rallying the
office to go to a specific restaurant for lunch is selling. Getting
your boss or the company to implement a new purchasing process; that
is selling. Selling is about influencing decisions. All of us do it
everyday, you can't get away from it.

Thanks Martin, for sharing your opinion. My favorite part of blogging
is the discussion.
