I hear you asking the questio "What inner voice are you talking about".

Closing the Sale

Are you 100 % certain that your value proposition holds more value, than you expect your customers to pay for it?

If you are not authentic, honest and you do not believe in what you sell completely, they will immediately see right through you. They will never learn to trust you enough, to spend any of their hard earned cash with you. We can all Sense Atmosphere and Integrityr

Positive Thinking Leads to Constructive Solutions

I am certain that if you constantly focus your energy on all the things, that are wrong in your environment, you are not placing yourself in the best frame of mind to achieve anything meaningful with your life. You are surrounded by negativity all the time, in the form of newspapers and news bulletins on radio and TV. So if you want to freshen your attitude and feel more positive, it is time to shift your newspaper, radio and TV time, towards something more positive. I am not advocating that you stop listening to the radio or watching TV altogether.

The Other Four Letter word for Success

Whether you have the word Salesperson on your business card or not, I am certain that you were involved in a number of sales conversations today, without even being aware you were selling or trying to sell something.

Building Meaningful Networks – Means You Won’t Need to Succeed Alone

We all have gifts and amazing natural strengths in certain areas of our lives, yet no matter how well we may perform in these areas. There are still parts of our lives where we need support and are not very adept or strong. These areas where we have weaknesses cause us to reach a chasm in our lives or businesses, where we are unable to proceed without the support of someone else. Identifying people with whom we can form mutually beneficial relations, who can assist us and whom we can support or help get what they want in return.

Are you Committed to Growing or Staying the Way you Are

As you know when you are in the gym and you want to grow, either your fitness or muscle mass. You can never just maintain the same workout routine. You either need to increase the size of the weights you use or the number of repetitions you perform, or if you are using cardio equipment, you need to increase the duration or intensity of the workout. Maintaining the same workout, only maintains your fitness or strength level.

Sales Tips to help you Secure Long Lasting Sales Relationships

The first step towards developing long term relationships with people who you have qualified as perfect prospects for your product or service, is to think long term. Do not try to make a sale, focusing on a single transaction. Take a long term view of the value proposition you offer and work to show the long term value you and your product and/or service bring to the table. When one of these prospects says they are satisfied, that does not mean that the satisfaction they feel is permanent.

Are you Helping People Get What They Need?

I do not believe that there is such a thing as rejection. Before you ask someone for something, either an order as sales professional, or a date with a beautiful lady, you do not have the order or the date. If the person declines your invitation, you still do not have the order or the date. Nothing has changed. Things only change when they accept your invitation. So in my eyes, as long as things stay the same, you have not been rejected, you have merely maintained the status quo. Reduce the Possibility of Having Your Invitation Turned Downr

Prospect only qualified Leads

You can never expect to consistently exceed your sales targets, unless you learn the art of utilising your available time as effectively as possible every day. Time is a limited resource, which when invested wisely will allow you to achieve remarkable results and when wasted, will keep you trapped in average. Chasing after every possible lead or prospect, without first qualifying them, is as effective as screaming at an approaching tornado and demanding it go away.

Wrestle Back Control, Start Your Day Focused On Your Needs

Have you ever wondered why you sleep with your smart phone next to your bed? Does it give you some sort of comfort to know that your phone is there, so anyone, anywhere in the world can disturb your sleep and interrupt that crucial time you spend rejuvenating and recharging your batteries, at their discretion? To me it feels like you are giving away some, if not all your control over your sleep every night. Empower yourself and give yourself permission to do what you should be doing when you get into bed every night, namely to rest and recharge your batteries.

Procrasti-NATION Is the Thief of Success

At one stage of my life I was so good at procrastinating, I was even able to fool myself into believing that I was not procrastinating.

Great success is seldom if ever achieved in isolation. Irrespective of how much natural talent or ability someone possesses, they still need the support of other people. This is even truer in the case of any leader who wants to successfully lead any team to greatness. The level of success, which any leader is able to achieve is determined by the people they choose to surround themselves with. No leader can possess all the skills, abilities and attributes necessary to be a great leader.

Imagine what is Possible for you

Much of the research I have read from many renowned Psychologists shows that people miss out on upward of 68 % of all opportunities around them, simply because they are unaware of them or rather because they have not programmed their brain to be on the lookout for opportunity. Most people are locked in a coma of routine, habit and overinflated to do lists, so they don’t have time for anything else. They run on the hamster wheel of discontent and a self-imposed comfort zone, which is just familiar, but seldom if ever comfortable, so they miss all the important things around them..
