Women Who Sell

There is little success in business without selling. No matter how subtle. No matter how blatant. The "selling" part has to happen.

Well, guess what. Women excel in this particular skill. Honest. There are a number of great reasons why this is true. According to a recent post in the Inc blog, these reasons include:

o In their personal lives and in business they tend to create relationships better.
o They tend to sell based on personal input and business input rather than just business.
o They listen.
o They don’t have a sales history that they are tied to, so "new" works for them.
o In many areas, women who are good in sales are still enough of a rarity to create a buzz.

And that is what sales are all about. So step on out, listen up, and write up that sale!

And, parenthetically, that is what selling your business plan is all about too. You are selling your business and yourself every single time you step in front of a potential lender or investor. So ...

Step on up, ladies!
