Intro
​Anyone can sell

We get it: your dream was to craft beautiful websites, not cheesy infomercials that run at 2 a.m. You’ve never practiced your winning grin in the mirror or shopped for a power suit. But yet, you still have a business to run. What can you do?

Sales can seem downright daunting if you're not a "sales” kind of person — and maybe especially if you're a creative person who just wants to do good work. But sales doesn't have to feel grimy, and you’ll need to do it successfully to
stay in business.
