Learning sales. I use to only code and my ability to make money doing things I enjoy went way way up once I dedicated $$$ and time to learning how to sell.


How’d u get over the fact that most sales is pushing rubbish on to people, things they don’t need


Sales certainly can be that. But I don’t sell things that way. If you solve a problem you get paid for it. Just do this over and over.


Can you share some resources to learn this?


It’s really simple. Just talk to people with money (business owners) and ask them what problems they have. Then solve the problem for money. If you get in a habit of doing this you’ll get very good. This is similar to building a web app in a new language to learn.


How did you learn
