Sales 101: A Coach? Me? No Way!

Posted on December 20, 2011 under Sales 101.

Lots of famous athletes,Fortune 500 CEOs, and entertainers have coaches.  Tiger Woods has a coach.  Madonna and Lady Gaga have coaches.  Michael Phelps has a coach.  Sergey Brin and Larry Page have coaches.  Meryl Streep has a coach.

You?

Professional athletes and performers are really only on the ‘stage’ for short amounts of time.  Professional sales people however have to be ‘on’ 25/8.  We are so busy reacting to clients’ needs, responding to texts, phone calls, and emails that we almost never make the time to plan, to think, to strategize, or re-energize.

Money Makers

Have you ever stopped to identify the things that make you money?*  How much time do you spend on a daily basis on these activities?  Enough?  What would be the impact on your income if you doubled the amount  spent doing them?

If you can’t figure this out on your own, you need a coach.

Who Is Holding You Accountable For Doing The “RIGHT’ Things?

Do you have someone who is asking you the hard questions?  Who is making you do the things you don’t enjoy?  Who is helping you improve the areas where you’re weak?

If the answer is no, you may need a coach.

If you really want to grow your business in 2012, consider finding a coach, a consultant, a friend, a significant other who will force you out of your comfort zone.

Thought for the Week

Thanks for being here, smile a lot, and never forget that you alone are responsible for your own self esteem.
