Getting Sales Right: It's Simpler Than You Think

Let’s be honest. Sales can be the bane of a business owner's life. You put in all the effort and often end up chasing leads like a headless chicken. But here’s the thing… you might just be overcomplicating it.

Effective sales come down to a few key principles. Whether you’re selling a service, product, or even an idea, the approach stays the same. And that’s what we’re diving into today – how to do sales right.

1. Know Your Customer (Seriously)

When was the last time you actually listened to your customer? I mean really listened. One of the biggest mistakes I see in sales is jumping in too soon with the pitch. Take a step back and let the customer tell you their story first. Not only will you gain a deeper understanding of their pain points, but you’ll also be in a far better position to offer a solution they actually need.

2. Reframe Rejection

Here’s the truth that many won’t tell you: rejection isn’t the enemy. Dipesh Virji, a sales consultant and recent guest on the Stay Hungry Podcast, shared how reframing rejection turned his sales career around. If you're in the game long enough, you'll realise that rejection isn’t personal—it’s part of the process. Embrace it, learn from it, and watch your success rate climb.

3. Authenticity Wins Every Time

People can smell BS from a mile away. Be real with your customers. Authenticity is the secret sauce that fosters long-term relationships and repeat sales. As Dipesh emphasized, when you focus on genuine connections, sales become easier, natural, and, most importantly, scalable.

If you’re struggling with sales or feel like it’s too much of a grind, start here. It’s not rocket science, it’s just about doing the basics better than the competition.
