I have a friend who is new to his job in sales and he was getting discouraged because sales were not coming as quickly as he hoped. Last month all of his hard worked paid off and he was able to close on a number of deals. I am really proud of him for not giving up. He kept attending events and building relationships.
I see many people get frustrated and give up too soon because sales and entrepreneurship are really hard. If you are tempted to give up, please send me a message so that we can talk about your business to see if I can help you.
Please understand that I will be honest with you. Many times people tell me that they want to be the sales leader in their company. I always smile and say, well the best way to get there is to simply do what the current sales leaders are doing.
Of course most times they will tell me why they cannot make as many calls or book as many appointments as the current sales leaders do. I always smile and say it is not that you cannot do it, it is because you won’t do it, and there is a big difference between those two statements.
Now not everyone wants to be the top sales leader in their industry or company, and that is ok. If you are not hitting your goals you have to have an honest talk with yourself and ask why. Often times it comes down to simply not putting in the effort you need to. We all know what it takes to be successful, the trick is to do it day in and day out, and sometimes that is hard my friends.
