How about that? matched

Sales, which I think can be considered part of the oldest profession. matched

But regardless, I mean, salespeople have been around for as long as there's been trade and commerce. matched

Well, trade and commerce, you know, but it's still, you know, hey, you know, if you're not just going to buy any pig, you want the shiny pig for that bunch of bananas. matched

One aspect of sales is know your customer. matched

You've heard that trope before. matched

And in knowing the customer, a salesperson must determine what that potential customer is thinking. matched

And hopefully it's in line with what the salesperson is trying to sell. matched

However, more often than not, matched

A potential customer is thinking they don't want that or they don't need whatever is trying to be sold to them. matched

Part of a salesperson's job is to convince that person to want or to need whatever is being sold. matched

So compelling people to buy things regardless if they need it or want it, that is a time-practiced art. matched

Now, today's sales are all around us. matched

Everywhere we look, we are saturated with it. matched

It's not just any person trying to sell us things. matched

Corporations, advertisers, investment firms, social media figures, news organizations, politicians, mega companies throughout the world, the most powerful government organizations, they are all trying to sell people services, products, and ideas. matched

When you're so saturated in it all, you think, well, what's left? matched

I mean, there's nowhere else you can go. matched

What stone is unturned that a salesperson could use? matched

Aha, in that context, we have the headline for this week. matched
