The second aspect of my day was on a more personal level. I am taking this class by a Brother Neilsen on Sales. I have had a hard time in this class because of all of the presentation. I have bad to sell different products and services to the class and I have had a hard to being prepared. I mentioned this to my teacher last week and so this week we had an opportunity to sell to one other person, he asked me if Id sell to him. I was extremely nervous. I knew that I had a hard time closing my conversations and finding their problems so I could meet them. Well with Brother Neilsens feedback I was able to really do well. He gave me some powerful feedback. Told me that it might be in my best interest to write things down, because he said he could tell I am a visual learner and need a pen and paper to feel that I am getting down all the information. I thought this was quite interesting because I have seen that in myself. I also was told that I should try harder to listen and not think about what to say next, then restate what they said so that I can better understand what is being said and to really be paying attention, this way I can find out how to help them and what benefits they are needing me to fill. What REALLY was the reason this experience made my night was something he said. He looked at me and told me that he had something that I really needed to hear. He said your brain operates at such a fast speed Sophie, but what you need to remember is to listen because "Sophie you are so intelligent". I nearly lost it. I was so touched! I really needed to hear that and I was so happy that he was saying it because he felt that was true, he didnt just say it because it was a nice thing to say, no he MEANT it! Best day ever. I am so grateful that I really earned the A he gave me. I know I deserved that grade entirely!
