What is Living is Selling?

We are a sales and marketing agency defined by the name of our business. Which means that us working adults are constantly engaged in selling, at work and at home, even if you're not "in sales."

Whether it's ideas, products, services, capabilities or wants and needs we do what we can to influence and persuade to navigate daily life. This reality means that communication, negotiation, and relationship-building are universal life skills not simply sales tactics. To quote Daniel Pink, "no matter what you do, you're in sales."

We practice what we preach and sell what we teach. Our philosophy is simple. We employ human-based sales with the goal of building long-lasting relationships.

Sales

Here is a brief overview of our two services:

Contract Sales

Are you a small business owner who is so busy running the day-to-day operations of your business that you don't have enough hours left in the day to focus on sales? You feel the need to hire a full-time salesperson but worry about the cost of that long-term commitment. Entering into a term agreement with an experienced salesperson who is under contract to expertly represent your business is the solution. Without adding a full time salary the service is available across the Winnipeg metro area.

*Sales Expertise and Teaching

Are you a business owner with a small sales team that you feel is underperforming? You try to coach them, but this is not your area of expertise and again, other daily responsibilities doesn't leave much time to work with them effectively. Our sales tutoring gives your sales reps one-on-one support from an experienced sales teacher who helps them build confidence, improve conversations and close more business. Your team gets better and so do your sales and revenues. Sessions are provided remotely so this service is available anywhere in Canada.

"My current career in sales is due in large part to the tutelage and mentorship put forward by Murray Hill. He's a leader - and someone who helped squeeze just a little more potential out of me, when I needed it most."

"Sales is the most useful meta-skill for life. No matter what path you choose to go down, you need to learn to sell: sell yourself, sell your story, sell your product, sell your vision, and sell your ideas. Keep refining the message until you get to yes." Sahil Bloom
