Definition of Selling [FAQ]

There are good and bad salespeople, but the act of selling is not defined by the seller’s success. Instead, “selling” is merely the attempt to sell a product or service for money, regardless of whether a deal is struck.

For example, when you walk into a department store, you’ll see dozens of aisles filled with products. You might only choose one item, but the store is trying to sell you everything in its inventory. Every display, discount, and salesperson is selling you something in that store.
