Everyone in business, whether you like it, or not, is firstly in the business of sales and selling. As a friend of mine once said, ‘Nothing Happens Until Someone Buys Something’.

I guess when you then about it, all the machinery, goes to work for any after anyone buys a product or service. Yet from my experience, if you asked most people in business or even in a role that requires them to sell stuff. Ask them to take you through their system and process for how they think, act, and communicate that leads a prospect to a happy buying customer and most will struggle. WHICH BLOWS MY MIND.

The good news is you do want to learn how to sell with fun, skill, and confidence. I’ll share with you how you can, in this article. I have the answers, we can rebuild you. But before then. Back to supporting you to make all the sales you want by unlocking your Sweet Selling Superpowers. 

If you don’t already know this, or as a pleasant reminder. If you’re reading this article to learn more about how to increase your sales revenue, engage more happy buying customers, and realize your dreams for success and abundance. If nothing, just be able to serve more customers and take care of your family.

Before we get into the juicy parts, how you think, speak, and conduct yourself, can make ALL the difference.

To the results, you achieve when speaking with prospective clients with the intention to build a real connection and create a bond and also have them feel good about buying you and from you. A quick test to help reinforce this concept. In the morning, wake up and before you’re heading out the door or getting ready to start your day, look in the mirror and look yourself from your feet to your face and ask yourself this.

Would I buy what I am selling from me and do I know how to sell what I am selling to someone?
If the answer is yes, great! If it’s kind of, or not really to no. You’ve got two choices as I see it. Pack up your business and go do something else that requires you not to sell. Or learn how to become masterful in the modern, authentic, structured approach to selling with confidence.

I’m sure you’ll pick the second option. Well, I hope you would.  Or life is just going to stay the same, and I can only imagine that same, isn’t too much fun is it!? The exciting news is, you can learn how.

As I was asked recently. I received a call from a friend and client who wanted me to do some further sales training with his team. As we talked through what he wanted, his need was to have me conduct a training and upskilling program for his call center team.

With the intention to help them have the skills to speak and communicate in a manner that builds connection and trust with their customers. Which he said something that really stuck with me and got me thinking and really opened my eyes to an important area of focus for this work, I didn’t realise at the time, just how important it really is.

The importance being, as he shared, ‘Trevor, I’m not sure what you call it, but my team needs those words, those ways you taught us to say things, that helps to build a connection and softens their way of speaking with customers and team members.

And I replied with, ‘do you mean, teaching them how to be, selling sweetly?’ To which he responded. Yes! Exactly!

So, what is sweet selling?

These are the words and ways you can speak with prospects and customers, backed with a sweet, patient, and calm energy. That is a nice, non-salesy approach that engages with our prospects and customers quickly. And makes for a much more satisfying and productive form of communication.

While also supporting our confidence in building quality relationships with these people and has a dramatic effect in our ability to work with more people who buy from us, because of how we use the written and spoken word.

  1. Firstly, it’s about the decision you make which is deciding to be of services.
  2. To make your communication with customers about them!
  3. To approach all customer interactions, whether in email, through social media, on the phone, and in-person, with an intention to about them.
  4. To find out how you can provide value in return for what they are buying from you!
  5. Humanise your communication, (bring sweetness) into your written and spoken words.
  6. With the intention to make the communication process, clear, interesting, and caring!
  7. Be pleasant and allows for the creating of connection, trust, and willingness to listen.
  8. Aim to create a feeling of ease and pleasure, while also intentional to lead to a mutually beneficial outcome for both parties.

Now I’m not suggesting you must be something that you’re not, such as overly positive, over-friendly, that can be painful and false! But if you’re more of a Director D style, overbearing and a, just get to the point type of person. You could consider bringing your personality to a place that is nicer and easier to be with, especially when customers.

Or you’re a more Conservative C style personality, that is introverted and is not comfortable when it comes to communicating with people. Or you too much, just get to the point, type person. You could do with bringing some human engagement into your written and spoken word.

All of this and only if you feel you want and need better connection and results and outcomes when it comes to customer and client and even with your team and staff.

Which if we refer to point 3 and 4 here are some examples of how to say and use Sweet Selling words and phrases.  To soften and connect in a style much prefer to be communicated with and builds for better relationships.

Now I get how some people speak to each other in some industries are going to be different from others. How a business consultant speaks to his prospective clients is going to be quite different from how a construction manager speaks to his prospects.

However, just so you know, having trained both types of industries, what I have experienced is that everyone likes to be spoken to nicely, even the hardest of hard businesspeople.

Why? And how does this help your goal for wanting to make more sales and money? Just think right now what is your brain saying to you about buying a book and spending $30 odd $ to access all this Gold?

Is it saying, I’m doing it right now and buying it! I JUST DID IT TREVOR. It’s on it’s way to me.

Or is your mind saying, oh $30! Will it work, what if this is a scam. I’ll have to think about that. I don’t really like to read books. Maybe later, or maybe I can find something free on the internet.

I’m not saying this to you to sell a $30. I’ll do just fine whether you do or don’t. The purpose of what I am sharing with you here is because, firstly, my WHY is to empower people to get all they WANT in business and life. I want this for me and I want this for you.
And secondly, to help do my part to have people get, making more money and sales or whatever it is, comes down to a very small difference in what one person does over the other. Why 1 person’s business is thriving and the other persons in the same industry are closing its doors. Comes down to those decisions and things they spend time doing the other doesn’t.

Those, 90% of people will spend more time worrying about their current circumstances. Find time for endless social media, Netflix, and drink coffee with friends. But FEAR runs them and stops them at every turn when it comes to getting out of struggle and into freedom. 

IT’S SCARY TO CHANGE. YES!
IT’S SCARY TO INVEST IN YOURSELF. YES!
IT’S SCARY TO DECIDE, IT’S TIME TO CHANGE. YES!
IT’S SCARY TO PICK UP THE PHONE OR MESSAGE SOMEONE TO ASK IF YOU CAN DO BUSINESS. YES!

But it’s the extra-ordinary person, who make decisions and stick with them! It’s this person who is more scared of what comes with NOT ACTING THROUGH FEAR.

They make the time to learn how to get what they want, they push through FEAR of not being good enough and how to do the things that will bring them success, clients, money, and health and a better life. They will find ways to make the calls, to meet and speak and believe in what they are selling.

They are warriors of their own minds. They run it, it doesn’t run them.
