The 12.5 Values of a Sales Professional

1. The value of creating a difference between you and the competition
The biggest difference is the difference they perceive in YOU!

2. The value of knowing the difference between satisfied and loyal
Satisfied customers buy anywhere. Loyal stays, fights for you, and refers.

3. The value of your ability to speak and be compelling
If your sales message is boring they pass. If it's compelling, they want to buy.

4. The value of knowing everything or being too busy
All the information you need to succeed already exists.
You may not be exposing yourself to it.

5. The value of establishing a friendly relationship
All things being equal people want to do business with their friends.
All things being not quite so equal people still want to do business with their friends.

6. The value of your humor
If you can make 'em laugh, you can make 'em buy. Study humor.

7. The value of creativity
Your key to being perceived as different lies in your creativity.
Creativity can be learned.

8. The value of asking for the sale
It's so simple, no one does it.

9. The value of your belief in yourself
To make a sale, you gotta believe you work for the greatest company in the world,
you gotta believe you have the greatest products and services in the world,
you gotta believe you're the greatest person in the world.
Three key words, you gotta believe.

10. The value of being prepared
Most salespeople are half prepared. They know everything about themselves, they know nothing about their prospect.

11. The value of not whining
You may be the greatest -- but if you whine, no one will like or respect you.

12. The value of an apple a day
An hour of learning a day will make you a world class expert at anything in 5 years.

Happy Memorial Day !!

You will never be greater than the thoughts that dominate your mind.

If it's true that you become what you think about most, it follows that the quantity and quality of success you achieve in your life will be in direct proportion to the size of your thoughts. If you allow your mind to be dominated by trivial matters, your achievements are likely to be unimportant. Discipline yourself to think about important things. Keep up with what's new in your field and with what's going on in the world. Make a list of good ideas that you can use anytime you are searching for a creative solution to a problem. Remember, small minds think about things; great minds think about ideas.

Big pay and little responsibility are circumstances seldom found together.

It is possible to go through life without ever accepting any responsibility, but such freedom from the cares of the world comes at an enormous financial cost. If you make it a practice to go out the back door when responsibility walks through the front, you will also miss out on the opportunities that always accompany responsibility. In almost any vocation, profession, or calling, your remuneration is directly proportional to the responsibility that accompanies your position. Make it a practice to volunteer for more responsibility or simply to assume it. There are times when you must get on with the task at hand without ever being formally told you're in charge of it. If you demonstrate that you are a can-do kind of person, responsibility and the higher pay that accompanies it will come to you.

PROCRASTINATION IS THE BAD HABIT OF PUTTING OFF UNTIL THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY.

For an achiever, perhaps the most dangerous, most destructive habit of all is procrastination, for it robs you of your initiative. When you put things off once, it’s easier to put them off again, until the habit is so firmly ingrained that it cannot be easily broken. Sadly, the effects of the habit of procrastination are also cumulative. Its cure is obvious-action. You’ll be surprised how quickly you begin to feel better about yourself and your situation when you get going on something-anything. As British prime minister and author Benjamin Disraeli said, "Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action."
