Sales Sabotage: Learn to turn off the mental chatter that’s interfering with your true ability. What are we all guilty of at one time or another? We sabotage ourselves. Unfortunately for some they make too much a habit of it. Here’s a look at some common failings that are sure to undermine your sales success:
Lack of Focus: waiting for anyone and anything to happen
Resolve to become the expert at one product or service. It’s essential for taking control over your client and destiny.
Negative Surroundings.
Find yourself spending more and more time on magnifying the negatives, creating unneeded difficulties and hanging with the bellyachers? In my experience, none of this negative energy has ever amounted to anything. It’s discouraging and sapping your energy.
Instead, do anything that’s uplifting and will raise your spirit. Examine your own situation and amplify your positives and minimize the negatives.
Negative Attitude.
You only see problems.
Realign your brain to look only for solutions. That means thinking hard, working harder and learning new abilities.
Not Trusting Yourself.
You want certainty where none exists. Don’t over rationalize or get overly dependent on the ‘technically’ correct answer.
Salespeople must be flexible and heed their intuition. Follow on what your gut is telling you.
