Everyone Sells

Vincent Van Gogh is considered to be one of the greatest artists in the world. He had extraordinary painting ability and creativity that rivaled the Renaissance Masters. Vincent Van Gogh was a prodigy. Despite his raw talent, his art was either criticized or hardly noticed in his day. Now his paintings can go for over 130 million dollars. (1) Clearly, raw talent does not always lead to reached goals and a prosperous life. In the sales world, employees and employers search for the false idea of “the sales gene.” Employers look for the perfect sales person — a Vincent Van Gogh of sales — to hire; they look for someone with empathy, charisma, and boldness. We desire and strive to be that perfect salesperson: someone born with the natural talents needed to succeed. Obviously we all want to be successful, but nobody is born with a gene to see success. We are born with natural talents, but that doesn’t equate always to results. Without a success gene, we are dependent on a system to achieve results.

Although we may not recognize it, everyone sells in their life. There are many times in our day when we are engaged in the “sales process.” When we want to convince someone that our opinion on politics is the right one, we are selling. When a parent tries to persuade their child to do or not do something, they are selling. When we try to convince ourselves to do something hard, we are selling. Even when we make goals to improve ourselves, we are participating in the same principles that govern sales. Everyone sells.

Griffin Hill’s founder, Dr. Scott Baird created the Griffin Hill Integrity Sales System. In a Google search for “selling,” you will find that the most common topic is: “How do I get a sale?” The Griffin Hill Integrity Sales System is the answer. From the title, this system is founded on integrity, but it is also a principle based selling system – meaning that it is governed by natural laws in human psychology. It is the organic, natural, and pure element of the selling world. It is sales at its finest and brings the user to higher planes of success.

Everyone sells in their life, although most do not realize it. The System, because it is founded on natural principles can be applied and used to reach goals in almost any area of life – not just the world of sales and entrepreneurship. It is not uncommon for us to hear that the System has helped clients in their personal life. One individual learned from the “Overcoming the Objection Play” how to speak to argumentative people without becoming argumentative themselves. Another learned from the “Needs Audit” how to ask good questions to facilitate self-discovery. In short – the System can be put into the context of any worthwhile goal and it becomes the way to achieve it. We invite you to learn more and try it out for yourself.

Small Commitments Lead to Big Results - Griffin Hill

Small Commitments Lead to Big Results

In the whirlwind of sales, there's often this urge to close deals swiftly, to snag immediate commitments from clients and prospects. However, expecting these monumental leaps right off the bat can be a tad unrealistic and even counterproductive. But what if there's a more innovative way? What if, instead of aiming for the big commitment upfront, we focused on nurturing smaller commitments that set the stage for more considerable successes?

Human Resource – Making or Breaking Business

At a previous job, I had the opportunity to work with an individual I both respected and feared. He was my manager. He was funny, witty, and showed great levels of kindness to me. He was dedicated to performing. He was also severe in his verbal communication. He acted the role of “the hammer” of the company. More than once I saw my team members in tears from what he had said to them. Other times I found myself feeling hurt, although he generally tended to be the kindest to me. Several times the team members approached him to try and rectify the situation but were usually met only with more fire. Finally, some of my team members went to the Human Resource department for help. I had the opportunity to watch as this manager became more team oriented, more caring, and more understanding of how he affected those around him. Human Resource had a reach that nobody else had. They could change what we could not because they had influence we didn’t.

Build the Relationship

In sales, there's that exciting moment when the deal closes. A little victory dance is definitely in order! But let's be honest, sometimes, there's also a tinge of... "Okay, what's next?" It's easy to fall into the trap of seeing each sale as an isolated event and then rushing off to find the next prospect.
