You're absolutely correct, we all sell something whether it's products and solutions, motivating staff or simply our ideas to our co-workers. Understanding the attitudes, skills and processes required to better focus on someone else's needs and wants and tailoring your approach to help them is an essential life skill. Glad you like the blog. Gavin Thanks Tom.

We all need to sell our ideas and strategies whether to colleagues, bosses, clients, friends or family. Not by manipulating people but by understanding their needs and helping find solutions that work for all. I'm finding more and more that by thinking of myself as a salesman, it focuses me first on understanding the other person's point of view, and then to start selling from there. Thanks again for this Apprentice blog, I find it entertaining, concise and to the point. Tom. Hi Gavin,

I’m finding more and more that by thinking of myself as a salesman, it focuses me first on understanding the other person’s point of view, and then to start selling from there.

Thanks again for this Apprentice blog, I find it entertaining, concise and to the point.
