Investing = Salesmanship! EVERY TIME!

I've got a background in sales - so translating that in to my investing came naturally for me. But I'm seeing more and more with my interactions with other investors that they're simply lacking in Salesmanship and leaving literally $thousands$ on the table!

Let's change this. Now. Recognize that someone is always selling and someone is always buying. What side of the table do YOU stand on!?

Everything is sales. From getting my wife to marry me, to getting my kids to do their chores, hunting for a job, and even closing a deal. Sales is not difficult either, just takes practice. I agree completely that it is a valuable (arguable the most valuable) life skill to have. Easiest place to start is actually being interested in people and asking questions about them, who cares what you have to offer until you actually find out how you or someone else can help. Qualify, Build Trust, Teach, Close. Do it right and the close comes naturally no need for some assuming the close gimmick or other cheap tactic.

Also, If the table is round how do I determine what side I am on? Do I stand or sit?
