Hate salesman? Don't. Never. You have to be one if you want to succeed...

In life, you sell 100% of the time. Sell your thoughts, deeds, ideas, opinions, wares, etc. 

You are negotiating for better life, better pay, better reputation, higher respect, better deal, better seats, better discounts, better quality or quantity in whatever you are having, etc. 

You are negotiating 100% of the time. You negotiate with your colleagues, bosses, business partners, customers, suppliers, contractors, friends, children (little kids best negotiation technique is to scream and shout for what they really want and persist - the most natural way to negotiate), spouse, partner, salesmen at the shops, etc. 

So, learn how to sell your ideas. Learn how speak and talk your way to the top at work, in business and in life...

The tone of your voice speaks for itself...

The tone of a person's voice speaks for itself...

If you are not getting the response you are expecting in conversation, try altering the tone of your voice. If you sound too rigid or firm or business-like or militant, try softer, gentler or loving tone. This works even if you're dealing with kids or adults.

By subtly altering the tone of your voice, can achieve somethings that you don't get to attain if you maintain a single demanding tone. The reaction you get will surprise you. Try it.
