“Have you EVER tried to sell YOURSELF wholesomely?”

It sounds weird, right? I am sure people who are into business can relate to such statement, especially if they are in sales. As a Salesman, he or she needs to sell himself or herself to sell his or her products or items. It could be in the form of online or offline. I, myself sell myself online. Since I am teaching online, I need to give good impressions to target online students. If not, then I would not be able to have booked classes. Thus, I learned how to sell myself wholesomely. “How about you, guys? “Any concerns about selling oneself?” Image Credit: s16309.pcdn.co

I sell myself in a way that constitutes my products. I also sell myself based on my knowledge and experiences.

@mlgen1037 hahaha! thank you, hija. yes, i agree. i would choose somebody who's got the brains and the intelligence, over somebody who just flaunts the body and the smile (which for all i know, may be fake and that of a user).

Hi po. I would definitely choose you over someone who just sells oneself because of a beautiful face and sexy body but has no experience and wisdom to back it up once the body is of no use.

@ridingbet That's really an advantage of us with great experience in certain fields. However, sometimes if we are overqualified, some institutions or companies will not hire us. We are the threat.lol

I agree with you, my friend. From some point of view, most of us are selling ourselves. Good to know that you are a teacher, too.

It is nice that I met a writer. I wish I can be like you. I had created a Guide Book and still not published.

@Shavkat You are right people in business and self-employed need to sell themselves. I have tried so many times but I do not succeed. I am not good at marketing myself.

I do agree with you. It is not easy though. It needs self-development before you can sell things to others.

@Hannihar Well, I think sales is not for everybody. Now, I think I can sell things to others. It has been a long that we had closed the family business

Our teacher in Principles of Marketing said that if you're in business you really gonna sell yourself to others, selling yourself in the way that you'll forget who you are.

I think your teacher is right on this. We tend to be in a different persona in the business world.

I don’t sell myself. I only provide the clients with what they need to resolve their issues and problem

As a writer I need to sell myself if I want to sell my books.

I am jealous. I wanted to be a good writer. I had created a book and it wasn't published yet. If it happens, then I will sell myself and let people buy it.

I am constantly having to sell myself. Why? Well, I do a lot of writing online as well as poetry and if I get lucky I get approached online to send my poems or articles for publication. Then, of course, come the questions like how did you get started, why do you do what you do and on and on and I have to put myself in the very best light possible.

In some degree, I do agree with you. In sales, we tend to be ourselves in dealing with people.
