I did this thread on my twitter handle – @AbbeyTunji recently and thought to share it here as it has impacted a whole lot of entrepreneurs.
So let’s do this…
WHAT ARE YOU SELLING?
ME: What are you selling?

YOU: ______________________
Until you understand this, you’ll only just be a mediocre sales person, selling just few of your products/service yearly.
People don’t buy your product, they buy the value which your product gives them.
Let them start seeing this and BOOM!!! Shoot your sales up.
