This week Managing Director, Simon Reynolds has been discussing with his workforce how sales skills lead to success in almost every field. Every industry will involve sales; whether a person is selling themselves, product, a service, an idea or a brand, sales underpins all business activities. ‘If you want success, then you need a solid set of sales skills' states MD Simon Reynolds.

Sales are more than the stereotype of manipulation and the ‘sell at all costs' attitude. Instead, a set of sales skills will, in reality, generate a valuable communication skill for an individual and will teach people to be present and engaged with others; for example, the ability to pick up on non-verbal cues and developing empathy with other people that forge a great relationship.

Learning and practising sales will lead to success because sales teach many things. Firstly, how to be persistent and realise that the word ‘no' is not a rejection, but a challenge. Secondly, sales will build up self-discipline in a person and will create a link between performance and reward. Confidence is a massive skill gained while working in sales because a person must be confident when selling and building relationships. In addition to belief, and person will learn how to negotiate through listening, identifying key drivers and overturning objections; while building rapport. And finally, the ability to close a sale and get others to agree, which fundamental to the sales process, is essential for those wanting to be successful.

Norfolk & Suffolk Promotions is working hard with young people every day to help them develop sales skills and use this essential skill to build a brighter future.
