Before embarking in sales, here are some simple and pointed out realities that must be accepted regardless of one`s personality or makeup.
The first reality is, and I cannot emphasize more harshly than this, will be the most difficult thing you will do in your life. If will test your soul, bring in self- doubt and test your level of perseverance.
Secondly, the business of selling whether it be your invention, product, selling has proven strategies in the art and science of making a sale. Don’t reinvent the wheel, as the clock is ticking.
Proverb 4:67: Do not for sake (wisdom) and she will keep you. Love her and she will guard you.
We must humble ourselves and understand what we are good at. Always seek wisdom and gain insight.
Fourth, once you accept the proven strategies and science, put a plan together and stick to that plan. Without a map, you cannot find the treasure.
Fifth: Be a sponge! Be passionate ask questions and always remember “The squeaky wheel gets the grease”.
Sixth: Recognize your social style and accept the fact that to jump start your business you must get out of your box!
Seventh: Don`t expect anything. It will only disappoint you. Constantly building trust requires and investment of your time. Always remember people buy from someone they trust. It`s up to you and only you to facilitate. Social style dictates communication style.
Eight: It’s a 24/7 career. It`s never ends! If you`re not selling, you should be relentless in networking. Finding places to meet people and when you’re at home you need to relentlessly contact people via social networking.
Nine: Seek wisdom always. Don`t watch TV for entertainment. Watch TV to be motivated and learn from great people.
Ten: Truly believe in your product. If you don`t, how can you be authentic?
Eleven: When you`re feeling down, look in the mirror and ask yourself the question;
Have I truly done the activities I need to be successful today?
If you are honest with yourself (numbers don`t lie) that is a breakthrough! As you control your future, rise up and see more people.
Finally, we overthink! It’s not that complicated! Coaching is what I do! We all have so much to learn and there is not a day that goes by in which I am not humbled by what I have learned.
