The Goal of this article is to show how every organization has and needs a sales operation. Sales are involved in every function within the organization. Sales skills are critical from presenting an idea to top management and obtaining funding, strategic partnerships to the outright sale of your product or service.

Many times when executives or owners of small organizations are asked if they have a sales operation, they respond that they do not. They say that their organization is too small to have one or that they do not have a product or service to sell. These answers are far from the truth.

Whether you call it customer interaction, business development or just plain sales, everyone in the organization does sales to some capacity. Any interaction with the purpose of building a relationship that ends in some kind of agreement to further a mutually beneficial business relationship uses sales skills.

Sales is the difference between reaching the goals of the organization and failure. You can identify, get in front of the perfect customer but if the person in the sales role does not have the confidence and/or the sales skills to ask for a commitment, all will have gone for naught.

Working and maintaining a career based on the mentality of the Industrial Age employer and worker is a surefire way of ensuring that you will not achieve financial success and freedom. In the Information Age, more and more people are seeking financial freedom and income security to shore up their retirement account and lifestyle. The horror is that there is a huge class of workers trapped in the poverty lane on the highway of financial success and freedom.

Sometimes, people that are not really capable for the job manage to impress on their interview and get employed. After you have spent money and time on that person, you realize you had made a big mistake employing that person.

At an International Franchising Symposium in London, Peter Holt made the bold statement to his audience of Franchisors that they needed to understand that their business would fail, and in fact all businesses are bound for failure. Needless to say, there were a few shocked faces in the crowd. He was making the point that it really is just a matter of the number of calendar flips before time strangles any business.
