There is no substitute to Hard Work
Athletes practice for 15 years for 15 second of performance. Success has no hard and fast rules. It has only hard and hard ones. In face, some people go into the profession of selling with a casual approach and treat it as a part-time job. A candidate went to a sales manager in the company and said, 'I am looking for a job where I can work half day only." The sales manager said, "We have the job, you have to decide which half...
Motivation
Motivation is like a fire. Unless we keep adding fuel, it dies out, and fuel to a good professional is feeding the de-motivation creeps in. A true professional is driven because they consider themselves self-employed.
Some people stop working the moment they meet their quota or target because they only want to keep their job, they are not internally motivated. They produce only enough, so that their supervisor has...
Formul for success
The profession of selling can be excited and rewarding both financially and emotionally, or it can be depressing and frustrating. A lot of it depends on a person's attitude and how he handles success and failure. When we make a sale we are on an emotional high. However, when we make no sales, we feel rejected and dejected. When a salesperson realizes that the profession is not only about making sales, but involves helping others...

Attitude in Sales
A good sales professional is like a driver who steers his way to his destination, rather than a passenger who is at the mercy of the driver, Failures, on the other hand, are living through hell. Their spirits are dead. They stop making efforts and they wait for things to happen. They feel helpless.
The easiest way to overcome insecurity is to rise above mediocrity has no power to move the soul. Mediocrity gives a mediocre living,...
Attitude determines success
A Positive Attitude Determines Success
Sales depend more upon the attitude of the sales professional than that of the prospect. A good sales professional is never ashamed of his profession. In face, he is proud of his profession. The only thing he is ashamed of is non-performance. There is a very commonly used story by many sales managers - two salesmen went to Africa, both went to sell shoes in different parts of the same country....
What is Selling?
Selling is nothing but the transfer of enthusiasm from the seller to the buyer. Supposing you became as enthusiastic about my product as I am, you would end up buying it, wouldn't you? If I am not enthusiastic abut my own product, I have no right to sell it. Which means, if I am not passionate about my own product, why should anyone else be? How can I sell it? Do I have a right to sell it?

Pride in the Profession of Selling
Image of an Average Salesperson
Sometimes, negative perceptions develop towards certain professions given the behavior of some individuals. Many people consider a salesperson as a fast talking man who will sell his soul to make a quick buck. They are only interested in commissions at any cost. They want to make a sale by hook or by crook. Many times, you hear people saying that to succeed you need to learn the 'tricks of the...
Smart Elite Sales Profession
Leadership is not a popularity contest.
Sometimes in life you've got to be unkind to be kind. Selling is more a matter of will than skill and we need both. Between will and skill, will is more important than skill. Skill can be matched, but when you are down and hurt, that's the time when your sheer will is going to pull you up one more time, to get up and make one more call and that is the winning edge. Even though it...

A Leart Profession
Aren't you self employed? If not who are you working for? All sales professionals are self-employed entrepreneurs ans unless they consider themselves self-employed they will not succeed. The real question is - if you are not working for yourself then who are you working for? In a free economy nothing happens unless a sale takes place. A sales professional moves products ans services from the producer to the end user. He keeps...
Who is not Selling?
Aren't we all selling?

A boy and a girl proposing each other to get married.
A politician making speeches to get votes.
A lawyer arguing his client's case in court.
A government body negotiating a major contract.
Aren't they all selling?
Our selling ability determines the success or failure of any transaction. The definition of a salesperson...
