Luck

“I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.” -Thomas Jefferson

Do you want to be “lucky” and get a lot of new business?  I have a simple formula for you:  do your activity consistently each day, sharpen your sales skills weekly and work hard monthly….then watch your “luck” of closing new business kick in.

If you are a sales pro you already understand how much activity you have to do in order to close a certain amount of new business.  You know that the years of experience, larger clients and sharpening your skills will tip the scales in your favor even more.

If you are new find a mentor that is successful.  Learn from him/her what it took for him/her to succeed and mirror his/her activity.  Sales is hard work; but rewarding work.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!  Here is to working so hard that you will always feel “lucky” in your sales career!

Are you prepared to close?

Pricing and being prepared to close go hand in hand.  I learned this from my Grandfather.  He never, ever went to a pricing/proposal appointment without the necessary paperwork prepared to close the sale.  This aides tremendously in getting in the mindset of closing.  Being prepared sets us up for success.
