Most people don’t like selling. I used to be one of them. However, as entrepreneurs, we need to sell stuff all the time. We just don’t have a choice. So the question is how can we overcome the fear of selling?
Sell a Great Product
This might sound like an obvious answer, but it’s not. Unless you have an amazing product that you really believe in, calling someone to sell it to will always be hard.
Understand What Rejection Really Is
Have you ever walked into a store, a salesperson asked you if they could help in any way and you said, “no, thank you. I’m just looking.”? This happens all the time. It doesn’t mean you don’t like the salesperson; it just means that at that given time you didn’t need or want that given product. That’s what rejection is. It’s not personal. Some people want your stuff and others don’t. You don’t buy everything that is offered to you, so don’t expect your prospect to do it.

Is mold hiding in the home you’re selling? As a real estate agent, toxic mold is something you should take the time to learn about. Even if you’re not a real estate agent, knowing the warning signs and risk factors of mold in the home could be beneficial, even potentially save the health of you and your family members.

For those of you who do not regularly engage in social media, the terminology can be overwhelming. Here are a few definitions of basic social media terms that you may read or hear about on a daily basis.
(some definitions provided by Wikipedia)
Widgets: In computing a web widget is a portable chunk of code that can be installed and executed within any separate HTML-based web page by an end user without requiring additional compilation. They are derived from the idea of code reuse. For example, take a look at the Recent Visitors widget on the left hand side of the TRELG Blog.
RSS Feed: RSS is short for Really Simple Syndication. This allows you to subscribe to content on blogs and other social media and have it delivered to you through a feed. This is a great way to read all of your favorite news websites and blogs through one website. For an example of an RSS Feed, take a look at Google RSS feeder.
