We have skills seller, i have bought what i never needed, what i bought wasn't what i have in mind to purchase but i was convinced to just buy it.
Any one that has the experience of a good customer service will always sell more and have more customers to patronize them, been successful in business is all about strategy and skill, how you brand your product, how attractive you make them look.
A good location and knowing what people lack most is one of the business strategies to become successful in business.
The talents are two different ones, and one is not as big of a deal as the other. If you are good at "in-person sales", then you are going to have a not terrible life, but you are not going to be super rich either, probably, unless you are selling to millionaires and such. And then we have marketing people, who can sell to tens of thousands of people; now that is a real skill that could get you rich. Think about it: if you want to make a thousand dollars, 100 people for 9.99 is enough, for example (although that would be 999 lol).

But convincing people that 1000 dollars is the result, is not that easy, and we are going to end up with something difficult if we are not careful about it, and we should not really be caring about this just yet. Those are different skills.

This topic just fits this song by Ren I've been listening the tittle is "money game pt. 2" it's details the unconventional  part of business that retail sellers that even have the capability to, the songs illuminates the fundamental concept of using business strategy to make things that are very normal and common seem rare. It also highlights the use of power from money to influence leadership  to propagate monopoly and every one will be at the hands of a man, example the Dangote cements

Selling of anything is too broad. I don't think you can just sell anything to anyone just like that. You are not a mind reader. You will waste time convincing someone to buy something. But rather it's better to convince someone to buy something that will benefit them. One is much easier to convince because there are things that you will point out that they actually will see the need in getting it.

When selling something, you will make more profit if you can identify what people actually need and sell to them than just picking any product and trying your possible best to sell it.

You can even take it further by knowing what and when to sell it. For example, you can't just be selling fireworks any time of the year. When it will sell more is during December. You can see that you will make more profit when selling a product at the right time.

In selling something, it is most important to understand the basic needs of people. A person buys a thing only when he needs it the most. However, people buy many things without need. For example: story books, home decoration items, toys, games, etc. However, many things cannot be sold without need. For example, fans in winter, cold drinks on the side of the road.

Everyone's needs and capabilities are different. A good seller will not only think about selling his own product, but will choose the right product according to the buyer's needs. As the buyer benefits from this, his trust and love relationship with the seller is being created. And once someone trusts you, he can buy a thing from you without need. So I think the most important thing is to understand people's needs, to maintain trust so that the business can be done well in the long run.

Which is the better entrepreneur, one who can sell anything to anyone, or one who can make people see the value in what they already have?
The one who can make people see the value in what they already have become the better entrepreneur.Because how on earth will your customers use your products and find out it wasn’t what you were truly marketing to them,first thing first you’ve lost the trust they ought to have given you for the fact that you weren’t truthful.Transparency in business can also go a long way in the business field.Most people would say if your products are not useful it wouldn’t attract customers,and I’m here to tell everyone that nothing is completely useless in the business field,I’ve seen a business man that supplies charcoal to those industries in need of it and he’s doing well financially so it is not about what you sell but it about how reliable and transparent you are in terms of business.

Well there are server ways to understand your customers as an entrepreneur, because it's not about having a business it's by understanding your customer demands and, as well thinking like them. Best to say, there is a taught full Idea that comes to my mind every time I want to talk to someone reasonably, especially when I don't want to be too insulting I easily put my self in the person's shoes and ask myself, how would I feel This taught alone allows me to understand not just my own prespective, but one of a general view. That said I see this as something that can be used in different scenarios, both business and all. What am trying to say is that you, as an entrepreneur, must understand the customers desires, not just your own. It's easy to say you aren't the one using the product like folks would often say, the customers are always right yeah, in most cases, though. That's all......

The one who can make people see the value in what they already have become the better entrepreneur.Because how on earth will your customers use your products and find out it wasn’t what you were truly marketing to them,first thing first you’ve lost the trust they ought to have given you for the fact that you weren’t truthful.Transparency in business can also go a long way in the business field.Most people would say if your products are not useful it wouldn’t attract customers,and I’m here to tell everyone that nothing is completely useless in the business field,I’ve seen a business man that supplies charcoal to those industries in need of it and he’s doing well financially so it is not about what you sell but it about how reliable and transparent you are in terms of business.
Generally, in business there's need for one to be very transparent whether you are into the business of selling products such as trading or the business of offering services, try as much as possible to be transparent and straightforward because such acts helps to show the value in what you already have. Some people have exclusive stores where they sell few products but high end for exclusive buyers, yet they will sell more than someone who's only interested in having so many products to sell without having a solid targeted audience, the one with little stock of high end products with exclusive prices will end up making more profit than the earlier.

The job of a good entrepreneur is to properly convey the true value and needs of the product to the customer. A skilled entrepreneur understands which class of customers his product is suitable for. And how they can benefit from the product. The basis of long-term success is the trust of the customer. If there is transparency about the quality and actual use of the product, there is an opportunity to build a long-term relationship with the customer. The success of an entrepreneur is not limited to how much profit he makes. How honestly and reliably he can provide a product or service is equally important. Good marketing can bring customers to the business. However, with honesty and reliability, customers can be kept associated with the business for a long time.

Bro, a good entrepreneur can do both. They can sell anything to anyone. They can sell bottled water to anyone, but, bro, they have to run a campaign to convince people why they should avoid drinking tap water. They won't show that their brand is pure. They will show that tap water is spreading diseases and that by drinking bottled water, you can save yourself.

But my personal take is that we should make customers understand the real value of the product. Most of the time, customers don't know its real value, and businesses cleverly put doubts in their minds about the products they are already using, like in my example above.

Because, bro, if we understand the product, we only know what we are selling. But when we understand the customer, we also know to whom we are selling, why, and who might buy it.
