A confession:
I like to buy stuff.
I don’t like to shop… exactly.
But I do like to buy.
And sometimes I feel a little sad for the salesperson because he’s not that great.
He looks at the floor a lot.
He shuffles his feet.
He looks everywhere but straight into my sparkly blue eyes.
But because I like to buy… and because I love the sales profession… and because I don’t want anyone to feel uncomfortable around me… I help the salesman.
I tell him what I like.
I tell him what my buying criteria are.
I tell him stories about why I’m more emotionally attached to Model X vs. Model Y.
And then I go buy whatever it is he’s selling.
So, you could say that I sell stuff to myself.
And that’s okay I guess, because I think selling is an important life skill and I want that salesperson to get good… fast… and feel good in the process.
Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I just said, “Can I just tell you how to sell that car (stereo, Cuisinart, etc.) to me?”
But maybe that would be weird.
So I don’t.
But I want to.
I really want to.
Then I remember, I have my blog, and my emails, and I can just write these things to you.
And I think they’ll help you.
Because yes, I think my crazy stories about the shepherd and “Plop” the Sheep will help you sell more of your products and services.
So here’s my tip:
I’m outing myself right now… I am a “Celebrate Me” buyer… I think everything is a huge deal all the time. And I love stickers.
If you’d like to sell me something, tell me how it will help me be more successful in my life.
Help me imagine a future where my life is better because of your product.
Lay it on thick, because I LOVE a celebration.
And that’s it.
I’m probably the easiest person you’ll ever sell to.
(Hint: I’m also the most common type of buyer in America. If you can sell to this person, you’re pretty much set for life.)
