Talk to people like you would talk to you mother, respectfully but in a friendly manner. Practice on your friends until you feel comfortable enough in what you are saying and how you are saying it. Make sure your product knowledge is good (sounds it already) so you can answer any questions thrown at you and smile!!! Good luck!!!

Get a realtor.  They have numerous tools and contacts that you dont, and they can suggest the right price for a "motivated seller" like yourself.\n\nLook for a realtor that is very well known in the community.  This should get you started: http://www.mibor.com/

Yes, I have been in sales for almost 10 years and it does get trying sometimes. One thing you have to do is sell something you like and that will help tremendously. You also have to take a vacation every 3 months even if you don't go anywhere you just need to take some time for yourself to reset. I try to take a long weekend once a quarter (Friday-Monday) and do nothing it helps not thinking about anything for a few days.\n\nI have even thought of leaving sales business a few times but I can go back to working for the $ that people want to pay for hourly workers. That is the good and bad thing about sales you get paid more but with the $ comes stress.

1. Don't settle for "average." Instead, commit yourself to be the best: always look for ways to improve yourself, your ability to sell and market yourself, and most important, your value to your customers.\n\n2. Whatever number you hear, keep in mind you'll be an independent businessperson, who rents a chair and you're responsible (usually) for your own taxes, insurance, supplies, training, advertising, etc. Plus, many shops take a big cut of your fee, so you have to get tips to make it work.\n\n3. Get out the yellow pages, go around to as many different salons as you can find, check 'em out, take pictures if they don't mind, take notes about what you like and don't like, and ask questions of the boss - tell her what you're thinking about doing, ask how they work there, what the deal is, and what advice she might have for you. \n\n4. If you find one you like, ask if you can get a job helping out, sweeping floors, answering the phones, whatever, for low pay, so you can learn more.\n\n5. Ask your regular stylist.  Also, ask her if you can go to lunch or drinks with some of her stylist friends and talk about the business. \n\n6. If you're still interested, do an internet search for "hair stylist marketing" or "hair salon success" and related topics. You'll find lots of useful how-to info, some free, some not. Read it and USE IT.

Any sales position has pretty high turnover.  Go on monster.com or any other job service, Craigslist, or just open the newspaper.  There are plenty of people advertising.  Stick to those with ads, because there are plenty of them, and also because these firms tend to recruit fresh people to train.  You're not going to make much at first. Also, it's helpful to have decent knowledge of the real estate and loan markets, and since you'll be working with a lot of realtors anyway, get to know a few. Realtors and loan officers work together very closely and share a lot of marketing efforts

You are either a salesman or you are not.\nYou do not seem like one.\nI am and love sales. I always have.\nYou cannot inspire enthusiasm unless you are enthusiastic first.\nPassion is not a chore for those of us who are good at sales. It is a pleasure.

Short and sweet. Answer them before they arise.\nThe way to do that is to stop trying to sell your customer and start helping them do what they already are doing -- better. The best way to do that is by haveing a discussion with them first. Understanding what they have done in the past, what they are doing and what they want to be doing in the future. You achieve this by asking good questions.\nWhen it makes sense to both of you, then you will move to the next step...all with no objections.\nRemember one thing. All the leads you call are not prospects and not all your prospect will become your customer.\nA point to head you in the right direction:\nFocus on the person on the other end of the phone --if you are focused on anything else, you are more than likely headed for objections.

The best way to be good at anything is training and practice.  If you can attend marketing classes, that would be a good way to find out what is involved in marketing as a career, and what employers are looking for in a marketing employee, as well as the different types of marketing careers are available.  Many companies would want someone to have some marketing education at least; a degree would be best.  You can start by getting a a beginners book like "Marketing for Dummies" and see what is involved and how much you like it first.

Is it possible to change jobs and move to a competitor?  Or, another sales job in a different industry?  Being able to sell is an amazing talent to have and very transferable.  \n\nIf you're the best sales person in the region, that's a fact and it doesn't matter what your boss says.  Sometimes you just have a crappy boss who is never pleased with what you do.  The problem is the boss and it's probably because they feel insecure.  Try to find compassion for the other person (i.e., maybe he's scared of losing his job, maybe he was picked on in school and you remind him of someone, etc.).  \n\nAlso, instead of worrying what they think, focus on what you know about yourself.  In your case, you know you're the top sales person.  Own it.  Be proud of it.  Broadcast it.\n\nSometimes, managing perceptions is all it takes.  Put some effort into communicating all the hard work you do.  If you don't get sales, talk about all the calls you made and then just shrug it off.  \n\nYou could also try speaking with your boss about this issue.  However, the key is to not do it when you're pissed off.  The other thing is to try to really listen to what they're saying even if it comes out sounding like crap.  Some people lack communication skills.  Really try to focus on a solution and a common goal.  \n\nSometimes being really honest helps too.  Rather than act like you don't care what he thinks, tell him you value his opinion and you feel very demoralized when he does x and that you were wondering if your perception of the situation was a bit off.  Don't blame.  Always chalk it up to differences in how you communicate.

Considering that you are going into sales, you should definitely add on your eBay.com selling experience because it is extensive.\n\nThis will enable your potential employers to see a demonstration of the skills many people only write about...as long as you have a good customer service rating, go for it.\n\nAn article I read recently stated that it's better to give information on your resume that provides demonstrative proof of your skills and never just include only keywords where they'll just have to take your word for it.\n\nTake some time to research on the internet about the keywords that employers look for and then link in specific details from your actual experience with those keywords.  Example:\n\nSelf-Starting, Self-Motivated, Customer Service-oriented: From the age of 13 to the present, I have successfully created and maintained an online sales business through eBay.com.  My eBay ID is _____, and my current eBay rating is _____.\n\nHope this helps!
