Wherever we go and whatever we do, we always have to market ourselves to people. Whether you are a businessmen or an employee, people need to know what do you do and expect you to perform extraordinary.
Marketing is the hardest skill to master because it combine logic and art. This is one of a skill that can be improved by anybody only through many experiences in the field.
The core operation of a company involve in selling their products, so do movie stars. It spread over a lot of different field of works, yet a bunch of people called themselves “Marketing Gurus”.
Marketing Guru means someone who can sell anything, anytime, anywhere, right? Nobody can do that, because even though we know the marketing concept, it’s the hard work that sell the products.
There’s a couple reasons why marketing is a hard work. It’s a lot of rejections, low benefit, with moderate commission. It’s not easy to convince people that you have the best products in the world, but the advantage of being able to market products to people is that we have a lot of connection.
The more we have connections, the more easy we are in the future, because you will never know what those connections will bring to you later. It’s suggested that we maintain the connections with those people.
On the other side, in the world of marketing, there’s always gonna be haters. They don’t like your products, they don’t like how you talk, how you dress, and how you presents. It’s even useless to maintain connections with those haters.
I remember one day, a credit card marketer called my friend everyday just to say hello and talk about different products. My friend gets really angry and say bad words to him over the phone and everybody heard.
Is it his faults for calling everyday? Even though it’s really different product every time he called. This treatment also happen for a You Tuber right in their comments, a bunch of negative ones.
Since haters are always gonna be there for you, why bother them? If you believe in what you do, as Winston Churchill said “You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks” {click to tweet}
