Powerful Message of Jack Ma - Selling to Close Friends and Family
Jack Ma once said, "When selling to close friends and family, no matter how much you're selling to them, they will always feel you're earning their money. No matter how cheap you sell to them, they still wouldn't appreciate it."
There will always be people who do not care about your costs, time and effort. They will let other people cheat them or allow others to earn, rather than supporting someone they know. Because in their heart they will always be thinking, "How much did he earn from me?" instead of "How much did he SAVE/MAKE for me?".This is a classic example of a poor person's mentality!
So how did the rich people become rich? One of the main reasons is because they are willing to SUPPORT their business associates, taking care of one another's interest. Eventually they get back more.
Your friends that BELIEVE in you, in turn will support you. Thus, the circle of wealth continues to grow and grow!
It's a simple logic that you will understand once you become wealthy.
Strangers Are Better Than Friends
Jack Ma on Sales: "When doing Sales, the first people who will trust you will be Strangers. Friends will be shielding against you, fair-weather friends will distance themselves from you. Your family will look down upon you."
You will realise that you are successful, when you start paying the bills for every get-together dinner, entertainment expenses etc. Everyone else is present except the Strangers.
Do you get the meaning of this?
We need to treat our dear Strangers better! And even more so to Friends who know what you are doing and yet still SUPPORT you!
Let us treat STRANGERS who buy from us better from today. They are your BEST customers!
Final Words
There will always be people who do not care about your Costs, Time, Effort, they rather let other people cheat them, allowing others to earn, then supporting someone they know. Because in their heart, they will always be thinking, "How much did he earn from me?" instead of "How much did he SAVE/MAKE for me?"
So what Jack Ma said is quite true in this case. Lesson learned.
