Everything is Sales

Last updated on Feb 17, 2026

Whether you’re pitching a product, applying for a job, or asking someone out, you’re selling something. Yourself, your idea, your vision.

When you realize this, the world changes. Every interaction becomes an opportunity. You start paying attention to how you present yourself, how you communicate.

But most people shy away from sales. They think it’s sleazy or pushy. They don’t see that persuasion is at the heart of human connection. It’s how we get things done.

The irony? The best salespeople don’t sell — they help. They listen, understand needs, and offer solutions. That’s something anyone can do.

Life is one big sales pitch. Embrace it, and doors start opening.
