The “Essence” of Selling for Small Businesses – A Tech With Heart Interview with George Scott
“I don’t like selling because I don’t want to be sold to!”
This is a comment that a lot of small business owners make when the conversation comes up about generating more sales for their business.
Is it possible to sell, without selling? It is possible to influence a prospect through conversation and sharing value, to the point where they are closing themselves on the sale, because they understand how it will benefit them, or solve the problem that they have been struggling with.
Michelle Calloway, founder of the Tech With Heart nonprofit recently interviewed George Scott, MBA and Business Coach on the Essence of Selling and he shared some basic insights that all business owners should know and implement in their marketing/sales strategies, to make it easier to get the “yes” and collect the money.
“Find or create a need, then fill it.” “That is the essence of selling” – George Scott

- The difference between push and pull sales strategies, and why one is far more effective than the other
