If you’ve ever worked a high-end sales position, you understand how the greater public typically views them as a whole; sleazy, snake-oil salesmen. We at Luxe Sales Society have a different viewpoint. From our perspective the skills to thrive and become successful in such a profession prove themselves to be masters of persuasion and negotiation, skillfully closing deals and driving bottom-line business growth, no matter the industry they work in.

However, the art of closing deals extends far beyond just the realm of business. Many don’t realize how tapping into your inner salesperson and honing the art of closing can enhance various aspects of your life, from personal relationships to personal growth and professional success.

The building blocking to maintaining success in life is mastering effective communication skills, verbal and nonverbal alike. Successful salespeople excel in communication, as they must effectively convey the value of a product of service to potential customers, being to overcome objections on the fly. This skill translates to other areas of life, such of building strong personal bonds, networking, and expressing your own ideas and opinions clearly.

Now, I want you to think back to a point in your life where you got rejected. It could’ve been a new job you were hoping for, or professing your love to a crush, or you got denied getting a loan by your bank. How did you react in that moment? If you’ve ever had a sales job before, then you know all too well what rejection feels like, it’s a standard part of the negotiation process. The key question to ask yourself is, ‘How often do I get rejected?’. There can be a litany of reasons behind that question, but what we would like for you to focus on is, ‘How can I better negotiate my ideals in a way people can understand and process through their own personal perspective?’

Even if you aren’t in a sales job, it’s important to remember that you’re still selling yourself in your own career path. It takes time to develop and craft your negotiation skills, but once you do, you’ll find out those skills are transferable and valuable in a number of personal and professional settings. From resolving conflicts in personal relationships, to navigating through business arrangements, these skills will help you find common ground and create mutually beneficial results, proving to be essential in many different aspects of your life. Finding your inner salesperson will equip you with the tools to better navigate complex situations and uniquely solve problems you will eventually face.

Being a salesperson is more than just selling products or services. Its about mastering the art of closing, which is present in every aspect of your life. From effective communication and negotiation skills to building confidence and resilience, the qualities cultivated as a salesperson enhances your potential in personal relationship, personal growth, and professional success. If you fully embrace the art of closing as your own salesperson, you’ll begin to notice how your abilities to connect, influence, and achieve greatness flourish in all avenues of your life.
