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, a mediocre income and nothing beyond. Millions of people die in obscurity without any achievement in life. They are the ones who are half-heated, who keep thinking, hoping and planning to do something but they never actually do anything. They are the ones that watch the world go by. They are the ones that watch the world go by. They talk more and do less. They have only intentions and no action.

To the mediocre, life is about passing time, making it from birth to death safely. To them life is an existence not living. The mediocre take every day as one more day. Their biggest challenge is to find a way to get through the day. They do nothing to make their today better then yesterday. Self-improvement is not on their agenda.


Don't settle for mediocrity. If you set high standards, very soon you will build the reputation of being a good professional with commitment and credibility. On closer analysis, one discovers that the top sales people do not have any advantages such as higher education or a powerful or charming personality. What really separates a successful salesperson from a mediocre one are three important attributes :




Attitude : Mental toughness

Ambition : Burning desire with clarity of goals

Action : Translating dreams into realities or potential into profits.




Each person has unique way of selling. Uniqueness basically means lack of duplicity and presence of originality.  A good professional engraves a lasting impression on others regardless of the product he is selling. Winners have an unending desire to achieve their goals, but a very important one.




Positive Mental Attitude :

If you study the life of successful professionals who have achieved financial independence ethically, you will find they all have one thing in common - they are all positive thinkers and positive doers. There is a tremendous relationship between thinking and success or failure. Good professionals feed their mind with positive thoughts on a daily basis to remain positive. 

Do you know the difference between winners and losers?


Winners form the habit of doing things that losers don't like to do. What are the things losers don't like to do? Well, they are the same things winners don't like to either, but they do them anyway. Losers either, but they work hard anyway. Losers don't like to get up in the morning, winners don't like to get up in the morning either, but they get up anyway.


This is like an athlete who trains and practices everyday. Does he like to practice everyday of does he want to practice everyday? The answer is no. But he does it anyway. That's what makes him a champion.
