Merit Kahn, CEO of SELLect Sales Development, is an entrepreneur, author, speaker, and standup comedian. She has coached and trained entrepreneurs and sales teams for more than 20 years. People hate to feel sold, so Merit’s motto is “Stop selling, start getting SELLected.” So if you’re ready to stop selling and start getting SELLected, this conversation is for you.
Podcast Highlights
Having worked in sales for over two decades, Merit has a lifelong passion for helping sales professionals succeed, especially those who are early in their careers.
“I find that people are so passionate about what it is that had them become an entrepreneur, but one of the things that they are frustrated with is that they didn’t realize that getting their good work out into the world would mean that they would have to be good at business development,” says Merit.
Many of us can understand the frustrations of early entrepreneurship. One of the hardest things to see is people with brilliant ideas, brilliant products, and brilliant services really have the heart to serve, but because their message isn’t right, the people with a fraction of what they’re doing are getting all the business.
“The bottom line is that it’s not up to the client to have to change to do business with you. Instead, it’s up to the entrepreneur to understand every facet of their own mindset so that they can adapt,” said Merit. “One of the best pieces of advice I got when I was an early entrepreneur was to learn everything you can about other people.”
Sales is a relationship business, after all. So, don’t just study your industry, your products, your services. You need to really understand other people and know how they operate and make decisions.
