Relationship-Based Sales and Fathering

Selling and fathering have much in common….
Ideally, they’re both relationship-based and include a commitment to that relationship.

Here is what I mean…sales and being a dad, both of the following in common…

1. Both have a long-term perspective
2. Both have to do with a deep commitment
3. Both have true care at the core
4. Both require being a dreamer
5. Both require knowing your client.
6. Both require knowing your product and having solid product knowledge
7. Both require a network of people who will help you
8. Both require knowing the five W.’s of the person you’re working with
9. Both involve the power of your words… speaking with conviction, life, and kindness
10. Both involve having the right message…. and solid believe in your message
11. Both require consistency, patience, and time
12. Both require relationship building, time, and shared activities
13. Both require a set standard, including goals, benchmarks, and achievement
14. Finally, both require a true sense of love, kindness and genuine care…

Building relationships with clients or children are predicated on many of the same concepts.
These relationship-based commonalities/parallels, plus time, will guarantee a fulfilling relationship and great accomplishment for those involved .
