Pagi-pagi kepikiran untuk menulis kenapa kita harus bisa berbahasa Inggris. Seberapa penting sih emang? Apa pengaruhnya kalo kita bisa berbahasa Inggris? Worth it kah? ayo kita bahas satu persatu.

Pertama

Dengan bisa berbahasa Inggris kita dapat menyerap lebih banyak informasi dari berbagai belahan dunia. Jaman sekarang yang namanya cari informasi itu gampang banget guys. Dan informasi itu hampir rata-rata ada dalam bahasa Inggris. Mulai dari berita ekonomi sampai sepak bola, tips menarik seputar kehidupan sampai life hack! Banyak sekali yang bisa kita ambil manfaatnya jika bisa berbahasa Inggris

Kedua

Disamping informasi, banyak sumber pengetahuan tersedia dalam bahasa Inggris. Walau ada yang sudah di translate ke bahasa Indonesia, namun jumlahnya masih kalah banyak guys dengan yang ada di bahasa Inggris! Terlebih ilmu-ilmu khusus seperti eksakta, bisnis, sampai alam semesta masih banyak yang belum di translate ke bahasa Indonesia. Dan juga ilmu-ilmu lainnya yang sangat berguna untuk kita pelajari dan diterapkan dalam kehidupan kita sehari-hari.

Ketiga

Membuka peluang Indonesia ke dunia luar. Bukan berarti dengan tidak berbahasa Inggris menutup peluang ya guys, namun jika masyarakat kita sebagian besar bisa berbahasa Inggris peluang kita menjadi destinasi wisata semakin terbuka lebar! Indonesia ini kaya akan sumber pariwisatanya lho guys! Dengan menjual daerah-daerah yang memiliki keindahan alam ke pasar global kita akan mampu meningkatkan pendapatan warga yang tinggal disana dengan kehadiran turis asing! Contohnya seperti bali guys!

Keempat

Tentu saja kesempatan kita untuk berbisnis dengan orang luar semakin lebar guys! Dunia sekarang sudah berbeda guys! Cari kerja sekarang gak cuma ke perusahaan tapi kita bisa mendapatkan kerja lewat jalur freelance. Bayaran freelance dari pengguna asing terutama dari dunia barat terhitung besar guys pendapatannya! Sudah banyak orang kita yang bekerja freelance terutama dari dunia digital dan memiliki customer orang luar! Jangan sia-siakan kesempatan itu guys dan mulai asah kemampuan bahasa inggris kamu untuk mendapatkan cuan!

Nah itu guys mengapa pentingnya bisa berbahasa Inggris. Bukan hanya sekedar belajar bahasa asing, namun kesempatan untuk mendapat berbagai macam hal positif dari sebuah bahasalah yang sebenarnya kita cari. Semangat guys!

The Best Sales Advice to Increase Selling

 “That price is ridiculous,” Luigi said after Mario gave him the proposal.

For $9,500 Mario’s team would do a quick rehab of Luigi’s rental property.

“What do you think is a reasonable price for that job?” Mario asked.

“Well Mario, $5,500 is already a high price.”

“Hey Luigi, you will save lots of money if YOU do it yourself.”

“Yes, but I don't know how.”

“That’s alright,” Mario said. “Pay me $3,500 and I'll teach you how to do it. Besides me saving you money, you'll learn and this will benefit you in your future projects.”

“Sounds good! Let’s do it!” Luigi said.

“Great!” Mario turned around and told Luigi, “Come here, follow me! To get started, you’re going to need all these tools.” Mario showed him everything he needed.

“But I don't have any of those tools.”

“No problem, I’ll show you where to buy them,” Mario said.

“I can't buy all of those tools for one job, Mario!”

“OK,” said Mario, “I’ll rent you all my tools for an additional $800.”

“Sounds fair, thank you,” Luigi said.

“Great Luigi! So I’ll meet you here on Monday to guide you while you do the job.”

“Monday?” Luigi paused. “I can’t do this on Monday. I work Monday through Friday. I’m only available on the weekends.”

“You know I don’t work weekends,” Mario said. “If you want to learn from me you need to take a few days off work. The project will take around 5 days, so take the whole week off.”

“I can’t miss a whole week of work!” Luigi exclaimed.

“Well, you should consider at least one extra day. When you do a job by yourself, you must consider unproductive hours,” said Mario.

“What do you mean by that?”

“You will need extra time planning the project, ordering materials, running errands, cleaning up the site, and disposing the waste, amongst other things. All these will be in addition to the construction time.”

Luigi stood there staring at Mario.

“Ohh, by the way,” Mario said, “Be ready with a truck before 6:00 am to pick up the materials and take them to the construction site.”

“Before 6 AM? With a pickup truck?” Luigi asked.

“This is just a suggestion Luigi, it’s really up to you. But remember, you will be paying the workers by the hour. Having them sitting around doing nothing waiting for the materials to arrive is not a good idea.”

“That will cost a fortune!” Luigi answered.

“Plus,” Mario continued, “remember, this is a rental property. Every day you have it vacant is costing you money.”

“Ohh yes, I don’t want to take this too long,” Luigi said.

“Okay Luigi, I’ll see you Monday,” Mario said as have him a strong handshake.

“No! Wait Mario!”

Mario stood there patiently.

“I now understand how much goes into this job, your $9,500 price sounds very reasonable. Please take care of the project,” Luigi said as he wrote Mario the check.

Now, to answer your question, what’s your best sales advice you can give?

Remember that people don’t buy products and services, they buy the value of the product or service that you’re offering them.

If you want to start a side-business, you must understand this!
