No One Wants to Sell by Andrea Waltz Everyone Wants Buyers. No One Wants to Sell. I saw that quote scrolling through Twitter/X... and it stopped me instantly. You probably know people... - They want the speaking gigs, but not the
outreach
- The bestseller status, but not the self-promotion
- The product sales but not the grind of initiating conversations
- The introductions but not the awkwardness
Wanting the reward without the risk, the recognition
without the rejection, is the fastest way to go broke quietly. I see it a lot. People waiting to be "discovered." People want the world to want them, but they’re terrified of offering
themselves. Selling isn't begging. It's not pushy. It's not yucky. It is leadership. It is the courage to say: "This matters. I made this. I believe in it. Let
me show you why." And yes, AI is here. It can write your emails, draft your message, organize your leads, and give you a hundred subject lines to test. But it cannot replace your
willingness to be rejected. No tech can sell your dream for you if you’re too afraid to stand behind it. So what do you do? Start asking, "How do I become someone worth buying from and bold enough to ask?" Build a No muscle. Your success is directly proportional to the number of rejections you're willing to endure in the process. Make friends with No. Make art out of No.
Make peace with No. Use AI but don't hide behind it. Let it support you, not shield you. You can delegate content. You cannot delegate courage. Everyone wants buyers. But the people who actually sell and who ask, follow up, share, and dare to be told No? They're the ones who get them. The rest? Just wait. And wait. And wait.Â
