I look at this person, and I tell myself “I love you I love you I love you”. This is more than advice on selling. This is advice on how to direct your brain to have a certain inclination that would make an anxious job like selling easier and more genuine, every single time.

S.E.L.L. = Sincerely, Encourage, Listen & Love. Great talk...

Im just a little boy living in Vietnam country. 1 month ago, I've gotten the internship in a real estate company as a salephone man. Thank to Steve Harrion presentation which help me recall super powerful stories talking about how greatest job in this world. Thank you so much, wish yours best! SELL - SINCERELY ENCOURAGE BY LISTENING AND LOVING

[@jeannemale2438]

Great message and storytelling and of course, a sales call to action! As a former sales trainer and sales performance consultant I applaud your message and think it bears repeating. Everyone gives lip-service to serving customers, but you get it; "When you love, you serve better." Customer service is about listening but love is the secret sauce because when you add love to the equation, you are selling with a servant's heart. My head was nodding as you made another great point by saying, "Love gives you the courage to..." and I personally and professionally know the truth and power of your message. Bravo for your courage to add the "L" word to the world of selling!

For anyone who is reluctant about selling, or just interested in a unique approach, watching Steve Harrison’s TEDx could be a game-changer. I learned so much from Steve when I took his year-long Quantum Leap marketing program in 2007. Later, I was incredibly lucky to become Steve’s coach-so I have the opportunity to really know how sincere and dedicated Steve is. I’ve rarely met anyone who gets as much joy and satisfaction from helping people work through their worries and myths about offering their services, their books...

[@Storesdavidal]

Thanks For Your Ideas

[@dianegardner1234]

This was great storytelling. I have met Steve in person and he truly is a loving person. He cared about every one of us who were at his event. He made the novice (me) and the experienced feel we were on equal footage. I hung on to every word of this talk. Thank you, Steve Harrison

Just the title already resonated so well. I loved this conversation. It was clean, funny, and so relatable. Here's to knocking on more doors. Thank you.

[@Lindyschn]

Outstanding talk! Steve's talk not only taught me a lot about selling but taught me how to be a better person and change the world. His four tips for selling by loving people and serving them gave me courage and resolve; I know now that I can do this too! He spoke my language.

[@lupitasamuels5262]

[@avivagoldfarb7301]

What an important message for all of us trying to achieve a goal or help others achieve theirs! Thank you, Steve, you've always been a wonderful mentor and teacher to me and many thousands of others.

[@sandybadillo1344]

Honestly this is very inspiring! This Mr has envolving story telling and also incredible developed communication skills. Every door has something to give you, he remarks you basically should listen to all the people and make them feel important, how to always understand your costumers and encourage them by just listening. The key is always listening and finally sell them (let them find out) your product or service. Sincerily encourage by loving

[@BarbaraHalesMD]

Wow, this was a heartfelt talk that I could listen to repeatedly. I learned a lot and connected with the speech. It changed my perspective in relating to people and what selling should be.

[@garogaryvoskorian2619]

amazing how each word will get into our subconscious mind and we learn it, and we'll use it later on in our life! thanks Steve

[@user-fx9gh3hq8j]

Beautifully explained. I am happy that I watched this video. Many thanks to you Steve!

[@LornaBlakeEmpower]

Wow, amazing Ted Talk, Steve Harrison! You reached me right in the heart with your powerful stories and four steps. I loved your questions! I agree completely that when we put love energy out into the world it changes us & thus changes our world...

[@freedom2outshine670]

“Focus on being the right person and the world will be so much easier to reach....begin a conversation with them that’s what love what do... knock on that door today and you will begin on the greatest journeys of your life.”

[@TheValkyrieprofile]

Thank you so much for this great talk Steve! ❤ S.E.L.L.

[@ksorrelle]

Excellent! A couple of things that were said I will never forget. If you get the person right then the world will be right. I love that. So true. This is a TEDx talk that will stay with me for a long long time.

[@orlandosilverwolf4449]

I want to thank you so much for this. It has come at a time when it was most needed. 🙏

[@mywealthforlife]

Thanks, Steve, for sharing your story from the heart. I too, started out my "Selling Career" with door-door sales with Watkins, at 15 years old. The suitcase was SO heavy I could barely get it up the steps to the front door. LOL It was the best "training" I could have gotten. I love the new way to look at S.E.L.L....excellent, I'll share that with other's. Focus on Loving and Serving Them......best concept ever. I've been on your Email list for years.....and feel as if I know you now, more than ever. I'll share this on FB.......Blessings in all you do. Dazzling Dolly.

[@rodgerdeanduncan7738]

Nice job, Steve. I've been with you on numerous occasions (Quantum Leap, Jack Canfield's mastermind group, etc.), but have never seen you in action in a TED Talk format. You aced it! You come across as just a guy who really cares about his subject and--most importantly--about his audience. As you point out, connecting with people in an authentic and persuasive way is really pretty simple. Your SELL acronym sums it up beautifully. Rodger Dean Duncan

[@ShatteredTogetherShow]

Sincerely & encourage & listen & love= sell. Love this and couldn’t agree more. Authenticity sells and that is exactly what you are saying in this talk. This is a fantastic TEDx talk. Thank you Steve!

[@bluechakraascension126]

Thank you for sharing this. Such a great story and wonderful positive advice.

[@lisaevers3052]

I am REALLY happy that we have connected and look forward to working with you to help others heal deeply... My soul resonates with being able to "Sincerely Encourage people by Listening and Loving". What a beautiful, new vision for success! GOD Bless you and yours! "If I got the person right, the world would be right"... beautiful.

[@Foad_Ahmed]

I just amazed watching this precious one S--E--L--L

[@varundx98]

The framework of the video was too good and it was quite fictional in nature. After all, the moral always comes from a story. Well done, sir!

I can't listen to anyone who starts out saying "many moons ago" and apparently doesn't recognize the racism in it.

Smart people dont pay attention to idiots who see racism in everything. Especially when they have to invent reasons to be offended.
