Are you struggling with your sales career? What if you could get excited again and use that excitement to give yourself a shot at the wallet? Well, whatever sales industry you represent, you can do it. Do you remember when you got your first sales job or accepted a new opportunity and you felt excitement and anticipation? Whether it represented freedom, independence, or a “sky’s the limit” attitude, it had an energizing feeling, didn’t it?
Did that feeling help you succeed, stay motivated, or persevere? I bet he did.
Foundations are the foundation or essential structure on which to build. The excitement or enthusiasm you felt was an integral part of that foundation. He pushed it through the training, then into calling customers and working hard to get that first sale, just to show everyone that he could do it. This mindset can still be a total asset to your sales success, in any sales profession. We all get excited about an idea or opportunity and say: “Yes, I can do this!” And then over time, usually after some stumbling and fumbling and maybe some initial failure, we lose some or even all of our enthusiasm. That can be fatal, if you allow it to be.
- Remember when you worked late just to show your employer (or yourself) that you were an entrepreneur?
- Remember when you were trying to prove that they made the right decision by hiring you?
How about you act like you have to impress the boss, yourself, or even your friends and family right now! Put your pride on the line and get excited.
being fired it will always work better than if you finish being fired.
If it’s safe to say that you originally thought you could do your job successfully, then what changed? If the opportunity is still the same and there are other people who are doing it successfully, why not you? A positive attitude can be an important factor. It may not be the only answer, but it can bring significant and positive results. With enthusiasm!
I have often heard dirty people say “yeah, well, that’s easier said than done” and that’s true because it’s always easier tell something that actually do something. However, when you tell That’s it Easier said than done”) usually it is because your feelings of frustration and discouragement have taken over and you are no longer making As much as you can.
In reality, neither failure nor success is easy.
So go ahead, get there early and start over because today is a new day and that brings with it a new opportunity. Act as if your job or your life depends on your success, because if it doesn’t already, it may happen sooner than you think.
