Researching ‘how to sell products’ that are feasible for everyone

It would be great if everyone could be happy, wouldn't it? After all, being happy alone is just lonely.

Some of you might be wondering what I'm getting at. What I'm thinking is, if someone could discover a 'low-cost' way to sell 'products and services' that 'anyone can sell,' they could make many people happy. You could earn money and contribute to the economy.

That's why we are 'researching selling methods.' What's especially important is that anyone can 'moderately' sell products and services if they put it into practice. The key is 'moderately.' It's not about suddenly selling massive amounts.

We could say something like '12 Laws to Sell Products Rapidly Without Cost!', but selling rapidly raises the bar. It would become a question of what percentage of people actually try it and succeed. First, it's important to firmly establish the first step.

I think there are many ways to sell services and products in the world. But each requires special skills, or you end up saying, 'No, that requires a lot of time and experience,' or you have to climb an incredibly long staircase to achieve it.

As a result, even if you try various skill learnings, you might not achieve anything. In the first place, skills, unlike generic things like 'selling methods,' can be limited to specific products or fields. If 'selling knowledge and insights' can be incorporated into any skill, it's like giving a demon a kanabo (making it invincible).

What if there was a strategy where anyone could sell anything within a few months by putting this into practice? That would truly change the world.

Everyone can experience their first 'It sold!'

Our vision is 'to realize a society where everyone can have their own business and thrive.' However, simply starting a business doesn't guarantee that products will actually sell or that customers will come.

That's right. It's not that easy, is it? No one comes, nothing sells. So it stops being fun, and people gradually quit. If there was an overwhelming way to break through that wall, how many more people would find business creation interesting?

No, no, 'Wait a minute!' For now, I want you to try executing it exactly as described.

If someone buys even one product from a stranger, that alone can keep a person going for a while. If something sells, the world suddenly changes. The thought of quitting instantly revives. That's why we want to distill not just how to sell products, but the entire process until they actually sell, into a form anyone can do.

First, we want everyone to be able to overcome the wall of 'giving up because there are no sales or reactions at first!' Once that's done, the motivation for trial and error will emerge.

If you can overcome the initial wall of selling, you can then spread it with advanced applications. You'll also be able to think and research on your own. The first step in selling products is difficult, but there's still a long way to go! It's just the act of putting a price on something someone wants and selling it, yet there's infinite depth to it.

Simple things are deep. Simple is Deep.

The method of selling products is simple. But grasping the 'times' is difficult.

Putting a price on something someone wants and selling it. All the basics are here. For example, imagine someone in front of you who is hungry and in trouble. It's about how much you would charge that person for making them an onigiri.

Just hearing this, it really sounds like, 'Oh, is that all?' It's so simple, anyone can do it. Some of you might be wondering, 'Why can't everyone sell?' Anyway, that's right. Fundamentally, it's so simple you might think, 'Is that all there is to it?'

So, why is everyone finding it difficult here? It's because 'we don't know what people want in this era.' In the past, I think there were many people who were hungry and wanted onigiri. However, now, no matter how much you search, 'there's no one who truly desires something from the bottom of their heart.'

When asked, 'Is there anything you want right now?' the answer is often, 'Hmm, maybe a girlfriend.' Why is that? The reason is simple. There's no one who's just a little hungry anymore. They can just go to a convenience store nearby and buy it. An onigiri. Because things are overflowing, there's no strong desire for something truly wanted from the heart.

By the way, the point of the current discussion is also where I expressed 'maybe a girlfriend.' Everyone desires 'heart,' 'experience,' and 'personal experience' more than goods and services.

And another point is that people harbor 'desires they haven't even realized themselves' deep within their hearts.

Human desires are surprisingly difficult to put into words. The conveniences that can be ordinarily imagined have all been exhausted and are already around us. Therefore, when creating and selling new products or services from now on, it's necessary to bring in ideas that are outside the realm of imagination. That's why it's so challenging.

In return, it's called 'innovation,' and I think it's become an interesting era. In fact, I even feel like humanity has finally reached the starting line.

We shouldn't rely solely on data. Value relationships with people.

Now and in the past, the way products and services are sold, the distance between hearts becomes the key. It's natural to buy products and services from someone you've met and become friendly with, rather than from someone you've never met. It's not a difficult concept at all. Hints for success are hidden in the sense of distance between people, and the sense of distance and relationship between services and users.

Building a sense of distance, creating relationships. With the advent of the internet, it has become an era where relationships can be built with even more people. However, people tend to only create inorganic, formal systems and view humans solely as data. That's why the essence often remains unclear.

Certainly, data is indispensable, and it's true that data can be a trigger for finding improvement measures. However, it's not like 'Data! Absolute!' What's truly important is how you connect with humans themselves, and how you capture their hearts.

Data is for selling products and services. However, the people you sell to are human. Data can show you the outline of what approach to take, but it won't tell you the details. Forgetting data is bad, but you can't succeed with data alone, so I think it's become quite an interesting era. The people we are dealing with are no different from one of our friends.

Summary

For now, I hope to continue researching content like 'Everyone can do it! The first step to selling products.' Once we've conducted extensive research and everyone can sell products to some extent, I believe individuals will then start thinking about how to sell even more.

In reality, there are many people who start thinking about doing something themselves or selling something. But in the end, they give up because they can't sell much. That is also very regrettable.

What a waste! The opportunity is right in front of them! I want to say, 'Just a little more, just a little more effort!' If you continue, you will definitely see an opportunity to sell somewhere. Or rather, fundamentally, without continuation, you won't even start selling.

First and foremost, we want everyone to welcome customers, sell products, and experience the feeling of making sales. We want to create a system where anyone can do that much. It's a daily research effort.

By the way, I will periodically report on the interim stages of the research and its results, etc., through the blog. If you want to know "how to sell products" or "how to sell services" even now, please be sure to check it regularly.
