Everyone on the planet is a salesperson. Regardless of your career path, even if you're a parent, you are a salesperson. If you have children then you'll understand that raising them is a skill and if youre not equipped with the right skills of persuading, negotiating and closing, your job is going to be even tougher. As sales training specialist Steve Allan explains, selling is a skill set that everyone needs in their life and with improved sales skills your life will improve.
