I found this great little article on Persistence Unlimited and I wanted to show it to you. It’s about selling yourself; something that most of us have trouble doing. The author ran into a friend who was a handyman who basically tells him ‘call em if you need any help’. The author makes this suggestion…
Instead of making someone else brainstorm possible ways they could use our services, we need to do the thinking ahead of time so they don’t have to. And wrap it up into a nice pretty package with a big bow on top.
What if he said “recently, I’ve been rescuing homeowners from $5000+ roofing and siding repairs by applying a specialized gutter and storm drain solution that costs only $350.00??
I probably would have hired him on the spot. But since he left it up to my imagination, I’ll just call him when something breaks or I need something painted.
