For those of you who have chosen to become professional sales people, my PrintGrowProBESTPRACTICES are simple, easy to execute ideas that (if they become habits) will make a difference in your commi$$ion check$. Today, a couple of ideas for maintaining a positive attitude.
# 1
For 30 days, read something positive right before you go to bed or as soon as you get up. No more ending (or beginning) your day with the local newspaper (“fire destroys family home”, “domestic argument leads to gunshots”) or TV news (“if it bleeds, it leads”). Your options are virtually unlimited: Winners Never Quit, Who Moved My Cheese, Think and Grow Rich, How To Win Friends and Influence People, Chicken Soup for the Soul, or Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. Other excellent choices would be anything from Allen Weiss, Tom Peters, or the gold standard for attitude adjustment purposes – Earl Nightengale; but, the first step in your journey is to find something. So ‘just do it’ for 30 days and see if it doesn’t make a difference.
Bonus PrintGrowProBESTPRACTICE: the next time someone asks you how you’re doing, instead of saying “fine”, try “Terrific” (even if you have to manipulate your lips with your fingers to get the word out).
Make it a great day and go sell something.
