Have you ever looked at an Enagic Distributor and thought “They’re doing so great, but I don’t know if I could do that. I don’t feel like I’m a Sales Person.”
But yes. You are.
Hear me out. In this post I am going to share with you a perspective on Sales that changed my life, how sales is a part of anyone’s business as well as the top 3 Tips on embodying your already existing inner Sales Person instead of feeling icky about the term Sales. Let’s get into it.
You are selling something every day.
Let’s reframe the energy around Sales: Moving away from the random phone calls you get of people wanting you to buy an equally as random item - and towards seeing Sales as true Service. Selling is essentially simply you sharing anything that you are passionate about and that can resonate with someone around you that you care about.
Have you ever shared a movie that you really liked with a friend and recommended for them to watch it? Or shared the life-changing book you read with your class mate and they went out and got it? Gone to a job interview and explained why you’d be great for the position and what you have to offer? Asked your parents to get you a certain kind of notebook back when you were in school?
Yup. We all have, but have you ever realized that you were essentially selling it? No? Well you did, ever since you could communicate. We all are Sales People almost every day of our lives, one way or another, even if we don’t notice or don’t speak about it in this way.
If you ever want to work for yourself you will be selling.
The medium we use to exchange goods and services in our world is…you guessed it: Money. Any time someone pays for something the other side is selling, that’s just the way it goes. In order for you to make an income aka make money you’ll have to…you guessed it…make sales, there’s no way around it.
Many of us are taught to not talk about money, it’s this taboo topic, treated like a secret whilst it’s actually essential for all of us to be safe and live abundantly, which also leads to us living our most expansive lives from a place of safety and calm and touch the world from here. Making money is a key opening doors, making sales it too.
For example, someone could be the greatest writer of all time but on books it does not say ‘Best Writing Author’ but ‘Best Selling Author’. As no matter how much value someone has to share, unless they know how to share and sell it, it will not make the impact it could. The momentum of the wave is lost.
Consciously watching the current of currency move around our world, with the awareness that every time someone buys a Sale is made, makes it almost silly to feel uncomfortable about the term ‘Sales’, doesn’t it? Yet, most of us do. I recommend you remind yourself of what I am sharing in this post every time the sensation of discomfort comes up. Reframe your mind, because otherwise you are not only blocking yourself from the Financial Flow possible to you, but also many many opportunities that can come your way, like sharing Kangen Water.
Top 3 tips for Embodied Sales.
1 ) Work with a product or service in which you truly see value.
You should do your best to reconnect to the feeling you felt when you recommended your friend that life-changing book. The natural resonance to the product or service has to be present within you, in Enagic this means feeling excitement about the water, the business opportunity or both of course! If this is the case I can promise you selling it can be super effortless for you.
2 ) Know your ‘Why’ and remind yourself of it.
Sales is the most effortless if you remind yourself of that excitement and alignment in order to act from it daily, as authentically as possible in your work. Know your ‘Why’ and remind yourself how this will help the person you are sharing it with. Get to know your potential team member or client so you can be of deeper service to them with the business or the water. Every time you feel imbalance and discomfort come up when sharing it’s time to re-discover your why, which will change over time but even redefining it should not be dismissed or labelled unimportant as the energy you show up with determines the outcome. Staying in alignment and acting on-purpose is important to feel fulfilled.
3 ) Work on your money mindset.
Through helping people getting started with their Enagic business and join my team, I have realized time and time again that for a lot of you it’s not even about the sale, it’s the step before. The fact that selling includes the exchange of money and if you don’t have an established money mindset your mind might think “Oh I’m taking money from these people.” or “It’s too expensive.” or “Who would buy anything from me? Do I deserve this?”. These are thought patterns that limit you in your expansion and impact so we call them ‘limiting believes’, specifically around money in this case. Unless you have an active practice around improving your Money Mindset and befriending your fears these thoughts can hold you back. (Read more about this in our post about Mama Money - coming soon)
Conclusion
Often times expanding in life comes with change. Not just any change but actual identity shifts within you. New ways of looking at opportunities that are available to you. It’s not only the situation that should change but unless you change nothing changes. This might get uncomfortable but it’s necessary.
Making a mindset shift around what ‘Being a Sales Person’ means has been so expansive for me. Realizing we’re all sales and Sales actually go hand in hand with making or spending money. By following the 3 tips I shared I have actually been able to reframe my mind through the experience of Sharing a product and opportunity that has completely transformed my life, and if you follow the tips it can do the same for you.
When you know you have value to share you would never feel like you’re selling something. That is exactly how we teach you to share Kangen Water within Namico Pro, so your work feels purposeful and aligned and you can touch the world from that place.
