Ever thought about working with a personal sales coach? Would you like to know if it will be worth it for you and your business? In this post, I will be interviewing a sales coach and her name is Marian Hobson. She is a Conscious Sales Guide for consultants, coaches and alternative health practitioners. Marian helps clients communicate their message to persuade those that need them most to desire to work with them. A lot of people try to prove themselves and prove how much they know. However, this ends up pushing away the people they are here on earth to serve. Marian loves to call herself a guide because a guide is like a trail guide who has been there before and they are on the path with you. A coach, on the other hand, may or may not have actually walked the path. She has walked the path of sales both as a consultant and in several other industries. She has worked in sales for 30 years. Her first job was a sales job. So she is a conscious sales guide because she really wants her clients to be aware of how they are selling and what they are selling because it affects how easy or hard it is to sell. So many people say that they hate sales because it is hard. Once a person becomes conscious and they realise that what they hate is rejection they then find that they love sales and love the process. They start playing the game using that process and so they really learn to enjoy sales.

So many entrepreneurs have hang-ups about sales, they have this great idea and they have a plan. They have a solid message that they want to share with the world. Yet when it comes to asking for money for what they are offering it becomes like this wall. They are unable to decline that wall successfully. Especially, those who are selling services directly, like coaches, consultants and alternative health practitioners. They are selling themselves, so all these blocks like negative and positive thoughts that they have about themselves affect the process. She came from real estate sales, pest control sales, advertising sales and then started coaching it was like a whole new experience of trying to sell herself that opened a whole new world for her. She has the experience and knowledge of both worlds that makes her conscious selling coaching unique. What do you enjoy most about what you do? What she loves most is the game. Because the people who need her the most are the people who resist her. She has to be gentle and play with them in their game. They would try to avoid every call and connection she makes with them. This is great and she loves them for it because she knows that this is their process. So she will stay in the game and continue to follow up. She would continue to see where they are so that she can get them to where they want to be. When you view it as a game instead of "oh no I just got rejected again". Then you can see it as them going through that process instead of you just following up. She did not want to be a salesperson as a child growing up Who inspired her to get into sales and why? As a child growing up she imagined herself teaching and training groups of people. However, she did not put two and two together or realised that it could actually be a career until she was old enough. It was only when someone said to her,
