Influence is one of the most powerful skills necessary for both life, relationships, and business. To be a person of influence, you must have a certain degree of self-awareness. Great sustainable sales professionals, have great self-awareness. Only with a high degree of self-awareness can you then become aware of others. Until that time all the greatest and latest sales skills and techniques will not be applied.

The Norwegian word for sales translates as “service.” In today’s world service is so rare that when you provide it foremost, you attract people to you and the products you provide. Know thyself, serve first, build rapport, and influence will follow.
