Life and Selling

Recently I was asked to teach Sunday School at my church. Normally not a big deal right?  Well, I was asked to teach boys and girls grades 6th to 12th. This is much more daunting of a task than teaching adults, due to the various ages and maturity levels, not to mention their parents.  I found myself struggling to find material that would engage there minds and feed their souls.  While pondering on these things something hit me.  How do they precieve me?  Do they respect me- therefore respect the material I present? These thoughts forced me to evaluate my spiritual walk, in fact it requires me improve it.

As a by product of all this "deep thought" some valuable insights in to business practices came flowing to the surface.  Not only should we live our spiritual (church) lives with integrity and honor but we should live professional lives the same way.  We should be a positive impact on those meet everyday- coworkers, clients, supervisiors, everyone.

For those in sales, when your sales meeting is over, a few things should be left in the propects mind. One is the question whether to buy or not to buy your product or service. However, the most important thing you can leave behind a good repuatation.  Wheter the propect buys from you or not, they should be able to say, there was something different about that person.  With this thought in their mind  you will always have another oportunity for a pitch, mabe even the oportunity to tell them about Jesus.
