Hi everyone,

There is an association that promotes honest selling. It is called :

Honest Selling Professional Association ( HSPA )

Their vision, in their own words, is to ?rebuild the reputation of the sales profession, so that sales become collaborations between buyers and sellers rather than wars to be won and lost?.

I want to build my online business with integrity. A few months ago, I typed the words ?honest selling? in Google, and found HSPA. At first, I was almost skeptical. Are these people for real ? Don?t they know there are sharks all over the place ?

HSPA are dolphins, if you allow me the comparison. I remember, many years ago, in a movie or TV series, there was a shark menacing someone. A dolphin came to the rescue.

I want to be a dolphin too.

On HSPA?s site, you will find a book that covers what the association is about. You can read the whole book online for free. If you prefer, it is available as a softcover. Selling the softcover is one way for them to finance their activities. You won?t find the book elsewhere.

Pressure techniques make me feel uncomfortable. The association wants the buyers and sellers to communicate from a standpoint of truthfulness. It is up to the parties to find out if the needs are covered by the solution offered.

It all sounds naive. Of course, when you want to sell fast, you won?t have the time for what the HSPA suggests. But in the long run, it is, in my honest opinion, the best way to build your reputation and, yes, make more sales.

The whole world might not be ready to listen. Here, patience is the key. Principles like the ones the HSPA teaches help the world move in the right direction.

Have a wonderfully honest day !
