1. Be open minded.

Don’t dismiss something until you earnestly try it. A lot of stuff seems counterintuitive at first. And don’t expect immediate results.

2. Put your ego aside.

It’s not all about you. Give other people the spotlight and your spotlight will shine much brighter.

If you actually embrace these two concepts, you’ll win at business and life. No joke. The reason sales is such an important skill to learn is that everything in life is sales. In some form or another, everything is sales. So learn this whether you will do sales or not.

(But when you think about it, it’s WAY harder than it sounds at first sight. Totally worth it though.)
