One of the most important skills you need to develop in your career or business is the ability to sell.
This applies to everyone, not just salespeople.
While your profession may not require you to directly sell a product or service, you will always be needing to sell yourself, your ideas and your arguments.
And perhaps more importantly, you need to get comfortable with rejection.
Persuading others to take action and make decisions is not easy to do, but this skill will improve with time and experience.
So in the early stages of your career, apply for roles that are customer-facing or have sales as a requirement. You will learn to better understand the needs and desires of others, which will help you provide greater value.
