Entrepreneur's Selling Skills

Question

How important is it that an entrepreneur is skilled at selling?

Answer

Good entrepreneurs are generally very good at selling their products or services and as an entrepreneur nearly everything you are doing is selling: your are selling customers on buying from you, you are selling suppliers on working with you, you are selling investor on investing in you, you are selling employees on joining your company, etc.  And you will most likely find yourself saying the same things (like explaining your value proposition or explaining how to use your products or services) over and over again.

Good entrepreneurs are generally the best at managing their sales pipelines as they well understand the direct impact of the sales pipeline on the health and growth of their company.

One of the exciting aspects about sales, or selling something, is that you will always find ways to improve yourself, regardless of your current skill level.
I look forward to sharpening my sales skills!
Does anyone have any “sales stories” from early in their career? (humorous, insightful, etc.)
