The Zebra always wondered why he couldn’t get it right. He started business after business and he just couldn’t stay committed enough to sell his products and services. Finally the Owl came by the shop and said, “Maybe owning your own business just isn’t for you. Even though you’re good at creating excellent products and services, at the end of the day you have to sell your services. If you know that’s a weakness at least partner with an exceptional sale person.”
Lesson: This tip is from “18 Reasons Why Businesses Fail” by Nick Psaila. It was featured on Rescue a CEO. “If you’re finding it difficult to market or sell your business to everyone that you meet and you believe belief that they need to have whatever it is you’re selling, you need to reconsider being in business. Business is about selling period!”
