In the world of sales, belief is a powerful force that drives success. It’s not just about believing in the product or service you’re selling; it’s about believing in the industry itself. This belief, rooted in understanding and passion, can transform your sales approach and lead to remarkable success.
Drawing from the teachings in my book, “The Master Salesman: Jesus and the Art of Service”, this article explores how embracing your industry with conviction can lead to a more fulfilling and successful sales career.
Understanding Your Industry
Understanding your industry is the first step towards believing in it. This understanding includes knowing the market trends, the needs of the customers, and the value that your industry brings to society.
The Connection to Jesus’ Teachings
Jesus understood the needs of the people He was serving. He knew their struggles, their desires, and their hopes. This understanding allowed Him to serve them in a way that resonated with their hearts.
Practical Application
- Research Your Industry: Understand the trends, the competitors, and the unique value proposition.

- Belief in Your Industry: Embracing the value and potential of your market.

- Belief in Yourself: Having confidence in your ability to serve the customer.
Scripture Reference
