So, that is the bad, and I used to be part of all that negative baggage. So, I decided to study how successful people ran everything, their business, their life, everything. And I found a website that gives actual inisight from successful business people, multi-millionaires and CEO’s. I started making huge steps in the right direction based on the tips given on this website and I have since started a very rewarding job, started working successfully from home making extra money in my spare time, purchased a new vehicle and moved to a better neighborhood with a larger house. I guess you can say, this has spurred my success story.

Check it out and see what you can learn from it, sometimes you just get stuck in a rut and you are the only person who can get you out.

Whether you sell for an orgainisation or, you’re in business yourself, you have to ask the question “why do I need to sell more.” If it’s just for bigger profits, a good appraisal or even a promotion, it’s not good enough!!

The question is, why do you want bigger profits? To take more time off, to hire more staff so you can have more time off, to buy the house of your dreams?

Why is a good appraisal so important to you? Because it will get you more recognition, leading to promotion, leading to higher income so you can take some of the adventures you’ve always wanted to?

This is how you have to think if you want to stay motivated to make more sales.

People focus too much on what they don’t have rather than focusing on what they really want. And, too many people think they just want more money but don’t say ‘why’ they want more money … i.e. what more money would do for them.

Clients are important, but you can only get that passion in your belly when you can say with confidence ‘why’ the product you sell is going to benefit the client. When they know ‘why’ they want your product, ‘how’ they’ll get it becomes easier. Suddenly they prioritise to afford your product despite the fact that yesterday they were broke!

Create a list of achievements that you would like to accomplish in your life.
Tell your peers, family, friends and customers what you’re going to do and hold yourself to a higher standard.
Set yourself specific financial goals around earnings, bankings and financial independance.
Invest in books, audios, dowlnoads and DVDs and listen to them regularly.
Sign up for my weekly Success newsletter.
Hang around with sales rock stars. Spending time with motivated people rubs off!
Book a date to take your partner, lover, a member of your family or a good friend out for a nice meal.
Make a scrap book or stick up pictures of what you want to do, have, be and achieve in your life. As they say, a picture speaks a thousand words.

These are just a few short tips to get you thinking. There are many tips and strategies in my forthcoming books Real World Sales Attitude and Real World Sales Tips.

Why is certainly a BIG motivator. Many salespeople get stuck in the day to day churn of getting up, going to work and going home, getting up, going to work and going home, getting up, going to work and going home…

They forget WHY they are doing what they do and what’s in it for them. They say, “I have to do this” when they mean, “I choose to do this because…”

Reminding yourself of what’s in it for you is as important as finding out what’s important for your clients when making sales calls.

Thanks for the input… look forward to seeing more. Have a great day.
