Im asking this because I am wondering how long you can sell , and not use it yourself.If you dont sell anymore , did you ever put off people you cared about or cared about you to keep selling? does it change you as a person just selling?\nhow long or can you do it without using ?

I own my own business and it sounds to me like you have a great opportunity to sell what you have done.  Advertise it, you would be surprised at how many people would be interested, you have done all the leg work, I'm impressed and sorry that it is not working out for you.  Maybe you could sell it and pay off some debt and begin again.  It would be well worth it. Kudos to you.

I actually think it is funny when I see someone's head shot on a card or in an ad.  It does not draw me in at all.  But I guess to each their own.  It does not make me buy any more.  I am all about if the sales person is genuine and not just trying to make the sale.

Yeah, I see 3 problems with your question.\n\n1. You don't give enough information. (buyers for what?  from where?)\n2. Your comments are completely different from your question.  You ask about buyers, then make a personal ad??  What's that about?\n3. This ad could all too easily be misintrepted (I hope!) as you wanting to sell YOURSELF.  I assume that wasn't your intention.

It can consume your life.  It's not the type of job you put down when you go home.  It's always on your mind, also.  "I hope I get that big account.", "I haven't met my personal sales goal", "I could still be at the office preparing a better sales pitch".  Etc.  It's never-ending.  In sales, you always have to worry about getting clients, and once you get them, you have to worry about keeping them happy.  With other jobs, you have certain tasks to complete.  Therefore, you can finish them, and go home feeling like you have done your job.  This makes sales unattractive.  Also, many people don't like the commission-based pay system sales jobs have.  They want to know exactly what their income will be each month.\n\nSalesmen are viewed in a negative light because they are after everyone's cash.  They pretend to be your best friend, take you out to dinner, give you some free MLB tickets (if you're their client), and then expect you to commit to the sale because they have schmoozed you.  They look desperate and they'll do anything to sell to you.  Not appealing to many people.

Maybe knowing that you're in good company will make you feel a little better.....My house has been on the market for just under a year.  We've dropped the house by 15% (about 110K) and still no activity (for a beautiful house.)  It's just a BAD market right now.  By the way, I tried the statue of St. Joseph (didn't work for me.)  Also tried the "sell your house" prayer - nothing yet.  I sincerely wish you good luck and if you find out the secret to success, PLEASE send it to me!

No one in the business to make money would "admit" to doing it just for the money, especially bands.  If you enjoy a particular bands music, whether they believe in the song or not, would it really change your feeling about the music if you knew they were selling out?  But think about it, why would they "risk" that by admitting to selling out? Taking a job for more money is only a "sell out" to yourself if you take the job for more money but are miserable.  But then again, I guess it could work the same way for bands, right?  Come to think of it, if a band plays popular music that sells, and it is completely opposite of what they enjoy playing and play well, then yea, that would be a "sell out" for them.  Not a sell-out to anyone else if they like it, but it must be miserable for the band.  But, ya know, money (unfortunatly) makes the world go round.  I believe a "true artist" does have an obligation and will stay with that obligation, over and above the ability to make money.  I guess it's probably such "true artists" are the ones that accuse others of selling out.  It may be wrong but if the general public enjoys what they hear and buy it, it doesn't matter if it's known whether or not a band sells out.  I don't think it would make a difference.  Just as someone taking a particular job for more money; in either case they are only selling themselves out!  \n  Hey, you said feel free to ramble on and on....!!!\n  Great question by the way, you could get into an awesome discussion about this particular matter!  Thanks!

Yes. \nI hesitated about what to do. If I decided to quit, I could not get any money. So, I made their life so difficult and the business so bad that they put me out of the company and I asked for a good exit package. With that I bought a small flat and set up a Foundation. I do my best to have a great working atmosphere. It goes very well.

I was just like you... I was then thrown into the deep end by my uncle. He asked me, "How would I like to start my own business?".\n\nI was only 21 at the time. Within 6 months I had my own real estate business and I was forced to go out and try and sell houses... I sold two but it became to expensive to run, so I closed it down. I now run my own SEO company and loving it because I'm really passionate about it.\n\nBasically what I'm trying to say is that you must be prepared to get out of your comfort zone. I found selling very hard because i was shy but I got over it and learnt a lot from it. Now I'm much more confident around people.\n\nYou probably find that you are afraid to fail.. Right? The best thing for you would be to go out and fail at something BUT try again until you get it right... this way you build up confidence and self belief. The mind is a powerful thing, use it to your advantage and train it just like bodybuilders train their muscles. \n\nGood luck.\n\nOne last tip - do something today that you usually wouldn't!

Why am i not surprised that most of the answers are trying to sell you something or another.\n\nIf you are thinking of being self employed and run your own business, but do not know what direction to aim for, the typical answer is..... to follow your passions.\n\ndon't ask me what that means, but if you read the books that many business owners have written they will say that you must be passionate about your business, for it to work.\n\nMy question to you then is, what are you passionate about, or asked in a different manner.\n\nIf you had an opportunity to receive a very impressive award and be recognized by your peers and society, in what field would you like it to be in.\n\nFor example, if you said, "helping single mothers to succeed in life, parenting and business" then your focuss would then follow that path, by deciding, \nwho do you need to know, to help single mother to succeed......\nwhat do you need to know, to help...............\n what do you need to do,.... to .......\n and how would I need to sell it.\n\nread books like the emyth by michael gerber, and anything you can get your hands on about starting your own business.\n\nThe web is great as a resource, but I caution you for all the sales pitches with their own agenda and products.\n\nMany years ago, my decision was real estate, after owning a book business, now I also am a part owner in a craft business, train realtors, and manage a real estate office, and invest in real estate. so there are many ways and roads that you can follow, and combine.\n\nIn answering your question, my own light went on, I think I am passionate about making other achieve their dreams,  cool.....\n\nBy the way, I am not selling anything to you, other than the concept, that what ever it is that you want to be proud to known for, is a great way to decide where you want to focuss on.\n\nGood Luck, although luck has little to do with it, hard work, good support (surround yourself with those with the talents you require to succeed), and a great plan.

It is called lost of interest, in my field is not closing the sell. You have to close it from the beginning. Hey I wish you the best, move on with your life. Good Luck

It depends on your view points on the law.  I feel the law is too involved in what we do and 'likes' to invade on our privacy.  I think that it also depends on if you really in fact will use it for it's purpose... pain!  I know a few people who take advantage of it being legal.  So you have to ask yourself:  am I really in enough pain?  Would you be using it for yourself?  Or with friends?  Selling it?

probably depends on what you mean. If you sell something you have to make sure the person gets what they bought!!

People do know it's annoying, in fact it can be tougher and all would have thought of quitting. Look at it this way. All people hate it when a salesman come over trying to sell something. Yet, every now and then there will be buyer. If you don't like it, just say no. You make your decision. Sure it's not easy trying to sell, but they do it for a reason. So, when someone preaches something, they have their reason and they do it for a reason too. If it doesn't suit your ear, just kindly say no. Whether it's going to convert you or not, only you yourself can decide.

I sell Mary Kay and I love it!!! I've been able to create a nice income with it just part-time (I still have a full-time job). It sounds like you're debating whether or not to sign up and do it yourself. The thing about it is that you get out what you put in. A lot of people end up hating it because they overstock their inventory when they don't have the clientel, and end up losing a lot of money in the process. People will tell you that you have to make Mary Kay your life and that you have to work really hard to be successful. I don't work hard, I work smart. That's why I'm so happy with my decision in selling. I decide what inventory to stock. I work around my own schedule. I don't let directors convince me to put in huge wholesale orders just to get recognition or help the unit grow. \n\nIn response to a few of the other answers:\n\n1. Read Mary Kay's book "Miracles Happen". You'll understand why she decided to make the company private again, even after being successful in the stock market.\n\n2. The reason Mary Kay is not sold in stores (like Avon, Arbonne and other cosmetics brands) is because the company is based on personal service and the ability to try before you buy. No woman wants to keep wasting money on makeup and skin care products that don't work, or look good on them. The difference between having a consultant work with you and going to a makeup counter is that you learn how to apply the makeup yourself, rather than having someone put in on your face for you then tell you to look in the mirror and when you get home after spending all the money on the makeup that they used, and can't get it to look the same way. Also, have you seen those reports on the news about all of the bacteria that's found in the products at makeup counters??? It's gross. With Mary Kay you know that you won't encounter those issues because the consultants never use the same thing for each person. \n\n3. You do not pay the company to sell anything! The money that you give to the company when you start is $100 for your starter kit. The products that come with it are worth way more than that $100, and it comes with all of the tools and information you need to get started. The $200 is the usual amount that people use for their initial wholesale order. You're buying the products wholesale through the company, but you make that money back plus your 50% commission when you sell the products. \n\nIf you are seriously considering it, you can contact me directly. I will honestly answer any questions that you have regarding the business. Letting you know the positives and the negatives.

Don't introduce the buyer to your real estate agent.  Read the contract you signed with your real estate agent and see when you can cancel it.  After the contract expires you may be able to sell the house without a commission.  It depends on what the contract says.  Read it carefully.
