Thought For The Week & TGIF

Posted on June 25, 2010 under TGIF, Thoughts for the Week.
 
 ”Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go. “ ~ William Feather 

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.  Talent will not; nothing in the world is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.  Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”  ~ Calvin Coolidge

Sales Reminders 243-252

  • Not taking risks is risky
  • Even in today’s challenged enviornment, if you wouldn’t have dinner with them, you wouldn’t want them for a customer.
  • If you want to become a better leader, become a better listener.
  • Start each day with a plan.
  • Dream aggressively.
  • Become an expert on LINKEDIN
  • Offer sincere compliments to someone each and every day.
  • When you stop learning, it’s all over.
  • Spend time every week marketing yourself  -  doing things that will get you in front of prospects; make this part of your weekly prospecting plan.

    •  Final Thoughts

    All great sales people are professionally pleasantly positively persistent (4Ps).  How about you?  Give up easily?  Did you ever stop to count how many times ‘Sam I Am’ asks for the order (before he gets it)?   That is a real study in persistence – especially when you are selling green eggs and ham.  I’ll give you the answer next week.

    Remember (TGIF), it isn’t absolutely necessary to wait until the weekend to have some fun.  Here this weekend’s challenge:  see if you can find something to do that is absolutely pointless.

    Have a great day, make a difference, and go out and sell something.

    1. Great reminder about persistence. It does pay off, but needs to be used with discretion.
      Re: your sales reminder 244, in today’s environment, we probably all have some customers that we might not otherwise want. As salespersons, we might be able to tolerate a dinner.
      I’ll see if I can find something absolutley pointless to do, let you know and see if it qualifies.
