What's your selling background? Here's mine.
When I was a kid, I always dreamed of being my own boss. I always play with my kitchen toys and pretend that I'm a restaurant owner taking orders, cooking, and serving the food at the same time. I also collect fake money papers and coins made of plastic. I force my brother (he has no other choice 😂) to play with me and pretend that he's my customer. Sometimes, I will pretend to be a fashion retail shop owner and I'll sell my clothes to my friends.
Do you see? At a very young age, I want to be an ! I wasn't aware of the term yet back then but I always had this passion in selling.
When I was in elementary, I look for what my classmates need in the room and I sell it to them. They like fancy stationeries. I buy sets in the bookstore near our house and resell them. Sometimes, I make my design using my writing pad. I can't remember how I pitch it to them but I'm always out of stock!
In high school, I pitch our of making clothes to my classmates that my dad and mom will make our costumes for us. I also help in making sure that no thread is out of place.
In college, (OMG! THIS WAS MY PEAK!) I go to school with a sack full of bags, wallets, and whatever I can sell. I also bought an extra phone so I can sell prepaid communication loads to everyone —schoolmates, professors, neighbors, and people I don't know. I also accepted typing and printing jobs at home since I love being in front of my good old desktop, which was still running on Windows 98 back then. I was able to save some money and bought 3 more desktop units and opened a small computer shop in our neighborhood. I burn documents in CDs and DVDs for my classmates, and they pay me to help them research and put their thesis together. And the list goes on!
Today, I'm preparing for 2020 and I have some pretty cool products and services that will love! Stay tuned for my announcement. 😎
