Don't limit your career by saying and believing, “I am not good at selling.”

Some people take pride in defining their brand by saying, “I am an introvert with an academic bent, I am not good at selling.” I would say not just stop saying but delete such thoughts.

By saying and thinking that we’re not good at selling, we’re ruining our career. Such thoughts and beliefs create a self identity of “not good at selling”. So, when the opportunity comes to sell and grow we pull ourselves back.

My proposition is totally upside down: SELLING IS SERVICE. Period.

If we don’t sell or talk about our products, services, ideas with our clients and colleagues we are depriving them of the gift of god or universe that we have.

Procter & Gamble (P&G) spends nearly ten billion dollars in advertising and marketing. Are all their products bad? No! Far from it, their products are fantastic but they have to talk about them and their benefits to invite the customers to buy and try them and continue to do so.


We all love #TedTalks, its speakers and the ideas they share. If we look at them objectively, the

TedTalk speakers are doing nothing but selling their ideas with the wider humanities to help them improve their lives.

  So, one last time stop saying or even thinking, “I am not good at selling.” Always remember, “SELLING IS SERVICE”.

  If you are:
– Salesperson looking for closing a large deal or achieving your sales target 

– Director or an MD trying to get your project’s budget approved 

– Manager or Sr. Manager trying to get promoted 

– Trying to improve your gravitas in meetings or presentation
