Sales – The profession – Once Mastered is Recession Proof.
In a down market or an up market the Sales Professional will survive. In the down market, the Sales Professional does great and in an up market they do amazing.
What is a Sales Professional? – According to www.Businessdictionary.com – An individual who sells goods and services to other entities.

Here are the 4 things you must master to be a Sales Professional:
1. Process – you must have a process from the intro to the close, you must have a process.
2. Salesmanship – This one is under practiced and takes some basic knowledge in human behavior. Building rapport and mirroring your customer is the basics and I go in more detail in my books “The Drive to 30” or “Driving Sales What it Takes to Sell 1,000 cars a month”
3. Closing the Sale – This is a very crucial step and you need to know when to close and not talk past the sale, or know the difference between a complaint or an objection. Grant Cardone has the best book I recommend call “The Closers Survival Guide” I highly recommend it.
4. Follow-Up – Without follow-up you will cost yourself tons of sales and missed opportunities. You must have a schedule, identify your power base, and the right software to access your customer base. We use the software we’ve created to do this called www.theautominer.com
Stick to these 4 principles… Master them, apply massive action behind them and you will become a Sales Professional in no time.
