"You've got to sell your heart"
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Selling From the Heart goes against everything that standard sales training teaches you. The world has changed and yet, how we sell seems to be stuck in past decades. No longer are the old-school or hard-nosed tactics working, it’s time for a change.
So how do you sell in this current environment? From the heart!!! You put the needs of your clients first. You place them up on a silver business platter. You intently listen to their every word, what they need and how you can best fill it. You care about them as people and develop strong relationships with them. You don’t go in for the kill, make the sale and abandon them. You take care of them each step of the way.
It is also about becoming your authentic self. It is not about copying what others do and how they look. The real you is waiting to come out, and it is wonderful. You have unique skills to bring to the table, and when you find them and use them, your sales will soar. You have an individual story, and it is time that it was heard. When you share who you are from the heart, it creates a connection that is not easily broken.

HEARTFELT RESPONSES
"I believe it's being who you are and not trying to be someone you're not. If you care about your customer and truly want to help them regardless of whether they buy or not this will come through."
J. Mark Sutton
"To me it’s about knowing your discipline better than anyone. Becoming an expert in what you do makes your message and connection the most genuine."
Micah Booth
"Being the true you and partnering with your clients to help them address a specific business challenge."
"Empathy is a really important attribute for me in my personal sales and service delivery (sales coaching) endeavors, and I believe that it should be important for all true sales professionals. It is the perspective from which we can really understand what is going on with clients and prospects, and a great position from which to sell them what they need based on problems we have worked hard to understand and are determined to help solve."
"Authenticity, empathy, and forthrightness are all spot on. I would also add acting from a place of service to the mix. There is no sales technique or skill that could ever be more impactful than a genuine concern for and a desire to help and serve the person or organization you’re interacting with. It creates a passion and drive to provide value at every interaction and it shines through in everything that you touch."
Jeff Bajorek
"I believe it means being true to who you are, as well as who your customer needs you to be."
"If we aren't true to ourselves we are simply empty suits showing up!"
Alfa Lambe ألفا عبد المجيد لامب

"To me, selling from the heart means that you care about the person across from you. That you’re acting in their best interest and putting the relationship before the sale."
"To be genuine and make someone’s life better as a result of the sale."
Chris Polek
"I would say it is caring. Your heart will tell you what to do. I think Robin Williams said it best to Matt Damon when they said goodbye in Good Will Hunting: “Follow your heart son; you’ll do just fine.”
SELLING FROM THE HEART
Selling From the Heart is about becoming a true sales professional who takes responsibility for their results. They don’t blame others when things go wrong, they look inward and determine what they could have done to make the outcome better. It is not about blame but self-examination. Taking a true look at yourself and congratulating yourself on what you did right and making a plan to become stronger in the areas that you are weak.
Selling From the Heart is the new sales economy.
- It's about knowing your values and living by them
- It's about getting brutally honest with yourself
- It's about doing the hard work to make sure you add value to your clients
