A friend told me last week, "Nobody ever plans on being in sales, but a lot of losers end up there." And recently, I've talked to a number of salespeople who seem tired, frustrated, and even defeated. As a sales trainer and coach, it's my job to help them through those feelings so they can generate renewed energy and experience renewed success. Believe me, I'm happy to play that role and provide that service. It makes me joyful.
Sales is a wonderful profession. Selling is an excellent career for someone who is self-motivated, self-directed, enjoys people, enjoys getting paid for their accomplishments (at least those who work on commission can say that), and for someone who wants to strive to grow and learn, and create a good (even great) income.
Do you feel the joy of selling? The gasoline in the top-performing salesperson's gas tank is joy. Before you see any prospects, fill your tank today.
Joy is also a by-product of successful selling. The more joy we put into our day-to-day tasks, the more joy we''ll find in our "tanks."
Joy creates more joy. Sell with joy today - and always.
