The ABC’s of Success:
Attitude
Possibly the most important of these 3 but useless on its own. It’s no good having the best attitude in the world if one’s sitting on one’s own in a closed room not talking to anyone. So, what is attitude apart from how one feels about oneself and others?
Your face is transparent, totally transparent and your attitude shines through whether it’s positive or negative. The first second that a prospective customer sees you maybe even before you see him, your attitude comes through. The customer sees it, maybe only subconsciously and will react accordingly. We all know that the first thing any salesperson must sell is themselves even before they open their mouth. If they can’t sell themselves, they might as well turn around, go home and go back to bed. If they can’t sell themselves, they wouldn’t be able to sell a packet of peanuts or a Mars bar.
Belief
An absolute and genuine belief in our business, it’s products and services and what it can give its customers.
Consistency
We get up every morning, we brush our teeth, get a shower, get dressed, have breakfast, etc. We are consistent in our actions. We do it every day. We need to do the same in being consistent with our tasks associated with our business for the days that we have chosen we are going to work, be it 1 or 7 days a week. We need the 6 marbles in our left pocket or left side of our bag and transfer 1 marble to the other side every time we have carried out a positive action i.e. seeing a customer, talking to someone about the business, etc., etc. We need to do it consistently. We need to have transferred all 6 marbles by the end of the day.
When you go mountain climbing, if you continually look up at the top of the mountain, you would trip and fall. You need to concentrate on each along the way, one after the other, and you will reach the top of the mountain.
Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up in defeat. Figure out how to climb it, dig under it, go through it, or get around it!
