As for your items not selling it’s likely one of two things that are happening that being one, you’re priced right and not reaching the right customers or you’ve priced them, even though you don’t think so, that you’ve priced them higher than their actual value.It’s kind of like fishing. If you don’t care if you really catch a fish but just enjoy sitting there with your line in the water then by all means enjoy. Now if you’re a commercial fisherman who needs to catch fish to make your house and car payments along with utilities and food I’d expect you to have a different paradigm. Some feathers may get ruffled here but passively sitting on your butt waiting for a phone to ring or someone to walk in your business is NOT sales. Sales is an active process identifying customer’s needs, knowing your product and developing relationships (people buy from people), etc…. So let’s say a potential customer asks to buy from you a drill and set of bits. What is he really buying? A hint….it ain’t a drill and bits. The customer is really buying a hole. If this makes sense then you understand sales. If not then you would be better served enjoying a respectable career operations. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😉" title="😉" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" /><img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😂" title="😂" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f602.png" /><img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😂" title="😂" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f602.png" /></blockquote>
