How to Stay Positive Working in Sales

Repetition is the mother of all skill.

B.  Belief.

E.  Enthusiasm.

A.  Action.

R.  Results.

First, you need to believe in yourself or your product.  Then you need to get excited about it, or display enthusiasm.  Then you need to take action.  For one out of every few people you speak with, you will get positive results.  It’s all a number’s game, so you will figure out your ratio.

Once you figure out your ratio, you can expect how many people will buy what you are offering contingent on how many people you speak with.  Then, you can work on improving the areas that could use polishing.  The proper polishing should get your closing ratio up from an average of 8% to 35%.
