I get it....but I got over it! Now it's your turn! 
 
If you're like most people, you love what you do, you have a passion for the products or services you offer and you enjoy building business relationships... but you hate selling.
.
Unfortunately that's too big to ignore. And it's an issue that never disappears or gets better on its own.
 
It's a love/hate relationship. Your business won't thrive with that mindset.  Your business can't survive without customers.  And it will never exist without sales. Even if you offer the best service on the planet if nobody knows you offer it, because you don't want to be out there selling....you won't have any customers or a business for very long.
 
I get it, but I knew I had to get over it. So do you!!!  
 
In fact I've personally overcome that awful feeling of fear and dread when it came to stepping into the sales role. When I started out I felt the same feeling of being awkward, unsure of what to say or when to say it all the way to not wanting to ask for the sale.
    
 
  
My secret to overcoming that was to learn to sell using an approach that made me and my future clients feel relaxed and open. I knew that if I was uncomfortable selling, it would be evident to my potential clients.  
 
Uncomfortable people don't buy or say yes to you and your offer.
 
You can't make money when you're making excuses for not making money. You have a choice. One of those choices is to stop talking about how much you hate to sell and take action around learning how to sell.
 
It's like trying to obtain a healthy, fit and flexible body by reading magazines and sitting in the parking lot of the gym. You have to go inside and you have to move. Are your ready to make a move?
