Sales is the first thing you should focus on doing when you are starting out with your business. The key to successfully selling a product, service, or idea, is to ask questions and then listen quietly and carefully to the answers. Many of us try too hard to convince people to buy instead of discovering what our customer really wants, needs, and desires from us. The very best salespeople have a combination of the following:

1. Lead Generation
The finder introduces you to new markets. Finders are door openers and are really good at connecting with decision makers, bringing people together and networking.

2. Lead Conversion 

The closer follows scripts and is good at asking questions. The closer interacts with the people that the finder brought to them, makes the offer, and closes the deals.

3. Lead Retention 

The developer is the relationship builder who follows up with the clients after the sale has been made.
