Waiter says: Is something wrong with the soup?

He says: Taste the soup.

He says: Is there something wrong with the soup? Is the soup too hot?

He says: Will you taste the soup?

What’s wrong, is the soup too cold?

Will you just taste the soup?!

Allright, I’ll taste the soup – where’s the spoon??

Aha. Aha!

Email Is Crushing Twitter, Facebook for Selling Stuff Online

“Email, on the other hand, has a certain unfair advantage in that shoppers getting the emails have already given up their addresses to a site, suggesting they already have some prior relationship with that retailer. Still, despite the avalanche of spam we all get, it’s easy to see how the staying power and greater potential for personalization of a medium without a 140-character limit gives email distinct advantages.”

Love is a verb

Posted on by

If you really love your product or service then it is easy to get excited about it when you share it with others. If you believe in what you do then you are not really selling when you tell others about it; you are just sharing something you believe in, something that excites you, something you are passionate about.

Conversely, when you don’t care about what you are selling then real selling needs to take place. And then again, some salesmen are good at just selling, anything. And of course, some of the greatest salesmen are not really salesmen, they are just expressing what they love and like and it rubs off on those who believe in them.

It is only a hustle if you don’t believe in what you are selling.

Yes, there is always a struggle, and yes, it gets intense, for sure, but if you belive in what you are selling then it is no hustle. When you inspire people it is never a hustle. When it comes from source then it is labour of love.

So, who of us are salesmen, or saleswomen? I think the answer is all of us. We are all in sales. Every time we try to convince someone of something we are selling. There are no rules when it comes to selling but there is some universal wisdom. Listen, love what you do, and be honest. Of course, many salesmen don’t listen, and are not honest. As for loving what they do, well, that is something a lot of people simply don’t think about. For most people it is really all about paying the rent and one has to respect that. There is no right or wrong here. There are just different ways of seeing the world.

Right now, on our journey with “Nothing for Mahala” we are loving what we do, and we are sharing our dream with whoever we come in contact with. If you inspired by this work, then support us, and spread the word! If you do that then we have made a sale.
