SALES
“Build an empire with same bricks that were thrown at you.” Anas Khan
SALES
There is no business without sales. Reluctant or not, entrepreneurs need the combination of power, persuasion, charisma, and confidence to sell; or the cash and infrastructure to outsource sales to someone else. The success of your business will be both objectively and subjectively measured by sales. While other factors need to be leveraged for sustainable success (whether you are able to deliver what you are selling, the quality of your product, your competitive advantage, your relationships with your customer base), these bricks are laid on the foundation of sales. Ground yourself in who you are and what you can provide, and invest the time to make your desired legacy a reality. Fortify yourself for the rejection that may, and likely will, come in order for you to expand and succeed; it’s time.
Emperor
Following the intuitive and innovative flow from the High Priestess and the Empress, the Emperor embodies the power, structural foundation, and strategic decisions that build legacy, authority, and stability over time. Considered a transition from the more feminine and emotional energies, the Emperor is the more masculine and rational counterpart that translates ideas into measurable key performance indicators. This move from the creative to structural is what makes business scalable and sustainable, the bricks of a strong and fortified empire. The Emperor establishes a foundation, intentionally leads, builds, and expands.
Questions to consider:
- What products and services are at your foundation?
- What could increasing your confidence in sales do for your business?
- How are your structure and desire for a legacy serving or not serving you?
- What is your empire? What could it be?
