Have you thought about expanding your possibilities? aka “Variety is the spice of life!”
Today’s question applies both to job seekers as well as entrepreneurs and salespeople. I’m referring to contacting companies complementary to your current industry as well as taking your current skill set and applying it to new fields of endeavor. Not only will you expand your sales funnel or prospect list, but you will attract many more possibilities and sales!
My example is Smooth Sale. We are known as a sales training company. It is a formal title implying that I only train corporate sales teams but that is far from true. I teach others to apply sales skills to their personal endeavor too such as writing a book, expanding business or interviewing. No matter what you undertake in life that involves others, unless there is interest (a sale is made) there is no point in continuing. So you need to adapt the mindset it is necessary to know how to sell to achieve better results.
By applying sales skills to these other pursuits, I attracted interest from many more prospects. My marketing-communication messages imply I am creative and a leader, and someone of interest to work with. This influenced my audience to convert to clients. My bonus is I also created variety for myself. So if you are an entrepreneur or a person seeking to interview, I strongly encourage you create variety to remain enthusiastic and motivated to keep on going until you find what you want most.
When you proceed in this manner, you greatly increase the likelihood of finding success and a very Smooth Sale!
