Selling vs gift-giving

Afraid of selling?

I figure it this way:

No one has ‘jitters’ when they give someone a gift.

They just feel really cool about it. They’re doing something awesome and nice for someone, and there’s no pressure to ‘do’ anything, other than say “I got this for you” and that’s it.

Jitters could be a sign you showed up without a gift.

So go get one - be it your excellent service, an extra something you included gratis, a starbucks gift card, or simply the energy you decided to show up with today.

It doesn’t matter what the gift is. Just show up with one.
