A world where people say "yes"

 

Are you in a world where people say "yes"? Are you surrounded by positive people? Or just maybe... do you ever find that whoever is in a position to ignore or deny your humble petition in fact responds with a clear and unmistakable "NO"?

 

The world of only "yes" doesn't exist. I'm sorry to be the one that has to break the bad news to you. The world needs "no", even though being in sales it can hurt - BAD! But you know what? Being in a world that doesn't care isn't quite so tough if you're positive and - over time - seek out likeminded people.

                           
     
 
            Can you see the flower?
                  ...and that's just it!
 
Inevitably, during all my years in sales, I believe the greatest comfort I've experienced is the ability to fall back on the good people around me. If you're going to be good at sales, of course you'll fail, and if you're going to be VERY good you'll fail even more. I don't believe any of us are super heros, but I do believe that those who stick around and succeed have family and friends that are there to support them when they need it.
                           

Maybe you didn't know, but the best sales people have a sales strategy inside the sales strategy. The inside strategy outlines how you deal with failure (as well as success, for that matter). The inside sales strategy is almost like selling yourself to your own peers, but it's not what we tend to think of as being traditional selling. This kind of selling can be compared to "sincere goodwill".

 

You want to know more about that - have more of that..? Well, stick around this blog, and you've begun a journey that will lead you to understanding how to attract positive people that will say "yes" when you desparately need it and a network of people that will pick you up when you get too many "no's". Better yet, why not become the "yes person" the "no people" intuitively turn to when they themselves are rejected?

"An increase in influence is the one ingredient that influences life most...

...everyone wants more influence for varying reasons. They just don't know it yet.

(E. Vidar Top)

 
 
Someone once said to me: "There is no such thing as the perfect sale." I disagree. I very much disagree!

It reminds me of a conversation I had a long time ago. One of my CEO's said to me: "If the customer happily signed the contract then you've done your job. You exceeded your budget - you should be happy." But I wasn't.

On these pages I'll make it my mission to tell you what kind of sale does make me happy. I also invite you to help me get that insight - how selling should be - by telling me what you think.

Thank you for helping out ;-)
